First Post of 2013 for This Charming Old House

You made it!  Hooray!

I'm still working on fixing some of the gadgets here, so bear with me.  But for now, this is the new home of our blog.  The old site will stay live for a bit, but you might want to change your bookmarks now.  Any new material will appear here, not at the old site.

Ideally, leave us a comment so we know you made it.  We're not sure how many lurker-type readers we have, and I want to make sure everyone makes it here before we shut down the old site.

What, you need something upon which to comment?  OK, well, here's a recent Question from Lucy (TM) [a new feature!]

"Daddy, do dolphins faht?"

Asked, naturally, totally out of the blue. 

So there you go.  Feel free to answer Lucy's question, pose related or unrelated questions, or simply provide your own rendition of a dolphin faht.

Oh, and also, we're trying to help Lucy's school get a donation from a local group.  If you have a minute and don't mind doing a sign up thing, head over to

http://www.weshareacommonthread.org/

and click on the box for "Give a Click" or you can go right there by clicking on this:

http://www.weshareacommonthread.org/Give-a-Click

You have to set up a username and password and give them your e-mail address (it's totally understandable if you don't want to do that, so no worries if you don't want to go through with this!).  Once you've done that, you can vote for Lowell Day Nursery to help us get them a $1500 donation, which would go a long way towards making some awesome playground upgrades.

BTW, We Share a Common Thread is a foundation operated by our credit union -- Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union -- and they do lots of good work in the city.
