Bloody cold

Friday: Woke at 8:30, quick shower, made some cheese toast and reheated tea. Had a phone call at 9 with J from CA about an upcoming course. We talked for an hour or so, as she boarded a plane for OH. Not long after, Bd called with a correction to some information I'd just received. Very good timing. Decided to not sleep more, although I could have used it. Up, email, Gus, another shower. Down basement, morning practices and drums. Mailed a DVD off to my mom. Headed off to work. Stopped at Starbucks where a very earnest man with spectacles (but no facial hair) served me a coffee. Bought a muffin in the market next door.

A good day at work. Sectioned an object into to parts, so it could work on more than one stream at a time. Debugged that, and got some other stuff up and running. Answered some questions for Dv. Let Ls out of the parking garage. As B was leaving he asked me for an opinion on something. Burrito. Damn cold out today. Someone posted an offensive video clip to an email list that I'm on, and I gave them my opinion with both barrels. Left around 9.

Drove to the mechanics and picked up my car. It started fine, so it looks like they found the problem. Said goodbye to the Saturn. Filled up my tank at the gas station. In the bay next to the one I was using, the driver of a tow truck was trying to start its engine. He kept cranking, but no luck. I resisted saying "Hey, you need a tow truck..." Eventually another tow truck did come and gave him a jump. It was that sort of cold out.

Back home, MB was already in bed, hanging with Gus, and doing some language study. She has a really early day tomorrow, and is feeling under the weather. A warning about a slippery shower floor. I played guitar for a bit. Snack. Hot tea. Down basement. Email.
