  * Brunch: El Torito.  YUM  
  ~ Steinhart Aquarium.  Abandoned because Colleen wasn't up to it.
  * new plan: give Kat the SATA dock and a SATA drive, since she left
    her IDE enclosure up North.  (I've been eyeing a combo dock anyway.)
  * walk:  3x around Rose Garden
    = around rose garden is 1100 steps; to/from rose garden is 2700 steps.
  @ Prosta-Metto® Extra Strength Saw Palmetto Complex : ingredients
    @ Saw palmetto extract
    @ Pygeum (herbal remedy) - looks useful
    @ Bearberry - definitely not: see side effects
    @ Pumpkin seed oil
  * some long-delayed progress on redirecting spam to family members
  * a lot of spam is going to thestarport.com
  * nova: need to tag spam with ***SPAM***
  & packaged up drive and dock for Kat
  & hopefully got Selkit thinking in a more productive direction
    moving to Canada could work will if they can get into a university.
    very dicey, though, given their academic history.

    ! Go me on the steps

I actually managed to get quite a few things done, plus brunch (at El Torito -- yummy) and a good long walk. I finally broke 10,000 steps for the day, about a week after I acquired my pedometer. Go me!

A lot of the day's accomplishments involved some long-delayed spam handling, working on my sorting rules. Would have been better if I'd done it back in March when I figured out what it needed. But it's done. And I've given a hard drive to the Wolfling, plus a USB/eSATA dock. Not what I'd planned, but this works better. The 500GB IDE drive will go into the gateway machine, which has the Debian mirror.

And gave Chaos and Selkit some advice that finally soaked through and got S, at least, switched over into optimistic problem-solving. Their situation is still pretty dicey, though.

On the whole a good day.
