The big news is that Colleen is getting full sensation back in the bottom of her left foot, which was one of the last holdouts on the input side. Some strength, too. There's hope!

We went to El Torito for dinner, but opted for a drive rather than the planned run to the nearby Fry's. Can do that over the weekend.

Got email from a former coworker, Bruce Razban, who I met last week in the AT&T store while I was buying a new phone. We worked at Zilog over a quarter-century ago. Small world. He's written a book: Layoffs & Hope: Advice & Inspiration for Better Work Life

Plenty of links under the cut. So sorry to hear about the UK Digital Economy Bill passing. Not too hopeful that the US can learn from the UK's mistake, though.
