I got my walk in early, while waiting for Colleen to get out of a doctor's appointment. Scheduling them for early on Wednesday helps a lot, it turns out. A little short, but basically a good walk. At least it wasn't too hot out.

Spent the rest of the day working from home, basically saving both commute time and lunch/walk time to get in a full day. It worked pretty well, and I finally got around to setting up an ssh port-forwarding tunnel through my firewall so that I can run GUI applications, rsync, and the like from home. (Geeky details downstream.)

I was surprised and delighted to get a call from Callie -- normally she only calls me if I've called her earlier and left voice mail.

It was rather painful to hear the YD crying because she couldn't talk to her boyfriend. I can understand why I shut down my empathy for so long.

Wednesday was lightly attended, and ended early.
