Thursday: Decided to sleep in the basement last night, as MB was coughing quite a bit. Slept well, waking around 11. Up, Gus, Shower. Last of the very robust oatmeal and coffee for breakfast. Back down basement. Internet not working. Called RCN customer service. They transferred me to tech support. I waited for what seemed a minor eternity and gave up. Morning practices. Drums. Tried the tech line again with similar results.

Off to work, driving the long way around. Some consulting with Dv and Al. J.S. had written me an email asking for a deal on some of our products, and so I looked into that. R called me into the office and made a request for increased efforts. Later B said he was getting me a new monitor. It's nice to know they think I've been doing OK by the company. Began work on a new project, setting the other aside for the time being: ridding the program of a particular old Mac OS idiom, that is unfortunately fairly pervasive in the code-base. Burrito and coffee. Left work at 7:40.

Two people at my class tonight. A couple. Very good session, and a rare treat having the opportunity. They were already quite advanced on several fronts, but it did seem there was something made available for them.

Back home, burned a DVD of audio files for MB, while again trying RCN tech support. Made an appointment for a service call. No luck getting MB's cell phone to connect to her Window's laptop. I think I need a driver CD. This thing that Windows does about needing a removable disk for its drivers seems pretty antique these days. Why can't I just download a file off the net? Why do I need a driver at all for that matter? Played guitar, and talked with MB a bit. Showed her how to use iCal. Ate some noodles and snacks. Soon down basement.
