A pretty decent day. Did backups and decided that the slower network really didn't make much difference in the time, so I can put off getting a new gigabit switch for a while. What I spent on shelving for the bedroom more than made up the difference, of course. Grumpf.

I combined my walk with making hotel reservations for my Mom's visit in mid-May. So that's done. It's a 20-minute walk, and scootable.

A nice drive after dinner, which was gluten-free pasta with the household's standard red sauce (a 2:1 mix of mild and hot Italian sausage, mixed with Classico spaghetti sauce from jars).
