Anniversary

Thursday: 4th Anniversary. MB got up early and headed out to do belly dance practice at Third Life. I slept in a bit, then up shower, took care of cats, brief sitting in the dance room and put away laundry. Drove out and bought some wrapping paper and so on. Stopped for an egg sandwich and a coffee at the donut shop. Back home and wrapped presents, then put them in the living room. Off to work. Rain, and more rain.

A day spent puzzling the double delete issue. The best guess we have at the moment, is the ABA problem that arises given the way that "compare and swap" works on Intel. Some pizza. A coworker came into my office behaving flat and agitated. I was feeding into it, acting annoyed. Then I saw that his behavior was entirely his stuff, so I allowed myself to relax. His mood immediately brightened.

Back home around 7. Basement practices. Checked in with MB. She ordered food. More basement practices. At 8:45 we ate Indian food. They'd messed up the order a little. After dinner we drove out and returned the incorrect food, and they gave us a refund. Then to the video store and picked up "The Squid and the Whale." Back home, unpacked presents, then ate rice pudding while watching. Very good film. MB headed to bed. Me too, soon.
