Thursday: Woke at 8, which seemed like a cruel time, given I'd only gotten to bed around 5:30 AM. Up with MB, shower, Gus. Down basement for a sitting. MB and I headed out around 9:35.
Stopped at the donut shop for coffee and egg sandwiches. I was feeling pretty flat and out of it. At the tax preparer, we got the same woman (Rita) as last year. She's very efficient, in a Japanese sort of way. There was a crazy lady that came in that was taking a poll about some business idea she's developing, offering fresh baked bread as a bribe, treating an amended return like it was a federal emergency, confounded by her ringing cell-phone, and so on. Another guy, when asked what sort of tax documents he had brought, seemed completely flumuxed and stammered "No one has ever asked me anything like that before!" It was a little bit like a real-world "Confederacy of Dunces."
Afterwards, back home. Some drums in the basement. A nap was aborted by the loud central vacuum cleaner, wielded by our monthly housekeeping ninja team. Packed the car with the electric rig and headed out.
Didn't get much done at work today, but had a couple of good conversations with B about future development. Did figure out a glitch was caused not on the scribe side, but on the unspooling side, caused by ripple effects of analysis. Burrito. Mk was talking about the new chain restaurant that is going in on the first floor. Unfortunate. Left at 7:25.
With Shawn over to Arlington. He told me a story about a friend of his who is quite overweight, and has suffered a shocking series of medical results following on from this. A very good rehearsal, running all our material, in our electric configuration. Some work on Eye of the Needle, which is coming along.
Gave Shawn a ride back home. Stopped briefly at the Somerville Castle. Back at the ranch, hanging with MB, eating some home-made pizza and red-pepper soup. Down basement, email, and now completing the day.
