Not many things to report on from yesterday; I worked from home in the morning because Colleen needed a little more help than usual because of her injured foot. Writing technical reports, which have to be done by early March.

No walk. It would have been a perfect day to use the fitness center, but after getting to work a little after noon, I didn't feel comfortable taking that much time out of the afternoon.

The new hospital beds I ordered last week should be arriving today.

Spent my time in the evening sitting in the bedroom with Colleen rather than watching the Olympics. We both crashed early.

Several good links. The most important is Junk economics and the rape of the middle class (via this post by admnaismith) -- I want my country back! Plus more on the school laptop spyware scandal. Apparently the "inappropriate behavior" the student was disciplined for was eating candy that looked like pills. You can't make this stuff up, you know.
