Sorry! That's due, in part, to not having a whole lot to say that's relevant to Life in Ithaca. Mostly though, it's because our Life in Ithaca is coming to an end... very soon! We're packing up and leaving ... http://ithaca.different-day.com/?p=194 It's nearly impossible to find a good printer that does 8x12 photo prints from digital files! After a relatively lengthy search I discovered printroom.com. The site is more refined-looking than your average snapfish and I was convinced by their range of print sizes and paper choices that they cater more ... http://ithaca.different-day.com/?p=193 The best time to shop on the Commons is now!

In the past three days I've trapped four little mice under the sink. I've been using the humane 'mice cube' traps which are clean and work like a charm.

"Missing Person: Sarah's tale" was written by Sarah Donley, the daughter of the editor of NOLA.com.
