I am sorry to report that our microwave of many years has finally bitten the dust. I had put in a bag of popcorn for lunch one day, listening for pops. The microwave is so old that cooking is timed by educated guesstimates rather than following directions on packages, and popcorn is best timed by listening [...] The insanity continues – with the open house coming up in just 8 days, several things still sitting in dyepots, nothing reskeined or tagged, and various administrative crap to carry out, I try to keep working.
