Furnace on the fritz

Monday: Woke around 8:30, feeling groggy from lack of sleep. NPR. Up, and was going to shower, but the water was cold. Noticed no heat from the radiators. The furnace was not working. Sponge bath. Gus. Down basement. Morning practices and very brief drums. Called heating people to see about getting the furnace fixed. Paid a parking ticket from Berkeley CA. Headed out.

Drove into Boston and found parking. Arrived at the dentist's office on time at 10:30. Cleaning, uneventful. Picked up a bagel-egg sandwich (whole-wheat everything) and a coffee on the way back to my car. Ate. Noticed I'd left my scarf at the dentist's office. Happy to have a reason to walk around, as the day was mild and sunny.

In to work. The new burrito place was open with people staging a mock demonstration in front to promote. Went over bug list. Walked out and got a coffee and picked up a couple of gifts. Around 3:20 the heating people called. Back home to meet them. P took a look, but didn't have the right diagnostic equipment. He headed off to try to pick something up. I spent some time contemplating my wall "display" and reading some from my old favorite GEB. As I was heading out to pick up something at the vet's, P called to say he couldn't come back today. In for a chilly night. Back home briefly to fully lock-up, then back off to the vets. Pet Tinic for Gus. Then back to the office. Spent the last half of the day working on my non-glitching project. At 8:10 PM headed out.

Union Square, met MB as she walked towards the India Palace. We had a nice dinner accompanied by Indian Music Video. I find the extra visual stimulation irksome. Avoiding TV in the US is difficult. The waitress seemed enthusisatic about the videos.

Back home to our chilly house. Luckily its not so cold tonight. Fired up the oven. The DVD project has just hit its next milestone, and a long email on that topic.
