I spent much of the morning moving directories around to put things like River drafts, my to.do file, and my new private journal all in one directory under version control. I spent some time in the evening, though not much, deciding on a name for my Dell netbook and putting it and Colleen's Eee into DNS. (The naming theme for mobile devices at the Starport is "stars with high proper motion"; the Dell is barnard.)

Got a reasonable start on sorting out the piles in the office that combine financial stuff (which I'm going to need for taxes) with the latest charity mailings. There are also two or three boxes of earlier charity mailings that I'll have to at least glance through before I toss them, and a big pile of cards and calendars and so on.

My walk, like Wednesday's, was twice around the pond, with a 20-minute meditation break. Reasonably focussed. I spent some of the walk time thinking about the new directory organization and scripts I could write to help manage it.

For Date Night Colleen and I went to Tony Roma's; I had mahi-mahi, and she had steak. Lots of things there for Callie and Naomi -- their spinach dip appetizer is based on corn chips, not the more common sourdough bread. After dinner we drove back the long way, through Saratoga and Los Gatos.

Yeah, a pretty good day.
