Tooth

Monday: Last night, noticed one of my front teeth is cracked. A strange sitting after MB returned home, drifting into sleep. Made it up later, but, anther late night, into another late morning. Called the plumber to arrange for her to drop off the basement key. Called the dentist. Brief morning practices, shower, packed a breakfast and then headed out.

Stopped at the library, wearing my newly expoxied sunglasses. Better to look through than at. OK for the car. Asked for a new copy of my library card. The man behind the counter was careful to correct me: I wanted my library card REPLACED. This is the difference between software people and the rest of the world. I see my library card as nothing more than a physical manifestation of my account number.

Over to KKC. Quite a lovely day out. Hit with a strong and complex odor coming from the town garbage truck. Unfortunately lingering. Filled water bowls (had to empty them first). Didn't feel like doing this today. Saw Ed working on a new sink in the kitchen. Funky plumbing in the old building. Brought garbage cans back around.

In to work. A fairly productive day. Actually began stepping through some code in my new project. Spotted a design flaw, that made me rethink a few things. Showed B some of my recent work. Quiet on the bug front. Headed home around 7:40.

Back home before MB. Down basement, and transplanted practices, until about 9:15. Upstairs and said hello. Her BD class went well today: 6 students. Called my mom. Long talk. Our dear friend K isn't doing so well, and it has mom in a funk. Many vivid illustrations of the transient nature of life lately. But we had a good talk, that left her spirits a little brightened, I think. Ate a veggie burger. Guitar for about 45 minutes. Throwing out some compositional ideas, and going back to the original inspiration. My father's piano teacher had some choice words on composition: "If you don't like it, don't use it!" Soon bed.
