Good party. A little small, as they tend to be these days, but Colleen was home and that made everything work right. This year is starting out so much better than 2009! I spent a lot of time in the office. Now that both Colleen and I are comfortable with that, parties and Wednesdays go a lot more pleasantly.

The Bohnhoffs were there in the afternoon and we swapped songs for a while: I sang the Bears, Riverheart, Toolmakers, and Wheelin'. Chaos hauled her bodhran for Toolmakers, and used my dumbek (which she liked and many people admired) on Wheelin'.

A couple of good conversations, plus a nice wide-ranging IM conversation with N spread out in little snippets over the entire afternoon. Realized that I'm actually overcoming my aversion to role-playing, at least when it involves a little gentle whimsy rather than putting myself in a social role I don't understand.

A little system administration and a fair amount of physical puttering-about.

Good day. Not really happy so much as contented, most of the time.

It was good having you over.

contented is a pretty good placed to aim for, most of the time :-) Or at least, *I* like it here....when I can get here.

True; it's an improvement. But I'd like to make it all the way to "happy" more than two or three times per year.
