  * YD feeling ill; no school for her today.
  * post Thankful Thursday
  x 2:30 Dr Sheikh -- can do it by phone if things going ok
    moved to 1021 at 10:30
  & M and C left this morning.  
    She thanked me for being a fellow geek for C to talk to.
    ! Sorry we didn't have more time to talk; relieved for N's sake.
  * I can haz Dell Mini-10.
    Came already defenestrated (Ubuntu 8.04LTS; Yahoo-branded Iceweasel)
    = 16GB SSD, 1GB RAM, no swap (of course)
    + very close to full-size kbd
    - enough bigger than B-sized that it doesn't fit a Magio case
  * $boss and I have determined that $demo is simply Not Going To Work given
    the low bandwidth of the connection between here and Japan, especially
    with a videoconference eating up most of it.  That means I'm officially
    Off the Hook for next week.  Whew!

  * Walk.  hot and noisy, but not as out of shape as yesterday.
    | almost all the pain and tension gone.  Pretty likely that I identified
      the proximate sources, then.

A very good day. By the time my walk came around almost all the shoulder pain and tension were gone, and a lot of pressure was off. This was mostly because of hearing $boss explaining to his boss why the demo wasn't going to work. So I'm off the hook. Also, the Dell netbook that I won in the drawing at OpenSourceWorld finally arrived (more on that separately), and the friends who'd been visiting Wednesday and Thursday left in the morning. I wish we'd had a lot more time to talk, but the house was pretty crowded and noisy. We'll try not to do that too much; one can't pay adequate attention to two sets of guests at the same time.

It was hot and noisy on my walk, but I wasn't as out-of-shape as I'd been earlier in the week, and all the tension was gone.

Colleen, Naomi, and I had dinner at Spicy Leaves -- excellent as usual. It counted as our date night, since we'd had too many guests Thursday and I got home so late. Great food, and two of my favorite women in all the world; it was wonderful.

The day ended with singing and snuggle, and sleep courtesy of cyclobenzaprine.
