    " Here's what blogging is to me: It's a modern form of the old Victorian
      custom of being "At Home" to visitors on a certain day of the week; it's
      an Open House during which friends and colleagues know they are welcome
      to stop by. I'm At Home each morning when I put up at post. Here, in
      the gossamer world of the 'Net, I throw my studio door open to friends
      and family and strangers alike. And each Comment posted is a calling
      card left behind by those who have crossed my doorstep.

  * any make target in Private that does a commit should include reports in
    the commit message. (15min)
  * booked visit to Seattle for 0317-21; made mostly-sketchy plans during a
    long IM with Naomi
  * buy: coffee
    Harbor Frieght opened a couple of doors down.  Could be dangerous.
  * buy: razor blades, NIMH AAA's with a USB charger.  Need to buy another set
    so I can charge two at a time.
  * buy: disks, labels, USB-powered speakers
  : YD made dinner.  Tasty gluten-free biscuits, chicken, salad
  * called Mom.  Al definitely has a GF now.  Yay!!
  : call from Naomi.  Mostly songs Ship of Stone, Daddy's World,
    Riverheart, Eyes Like the Morning, October Country (N sang it), Get Up and
    Go, Lily, QV.  She said my Ship of Stone was particularly good; I should
    probably record everything.

Considerably better, despite the rain -- I had a good, long IM talk with pocketnaomi in the early afternoon, and a nice phone call/filk mini-circle (dot?) with her and Colleen after dinner. Booked my next trip to Seattle, for the weekend between my birthday and the YD's -- the timing couldn't have been better.

In between, I went out shopping. CD labels, and an inexpensive set of USB-powered computer speakers, at Staples; simethicone and a prescription at Kaiser; razor blades and NIMH AAA batteries (for the cordless phone in the office) at CVS; and coffee at Barefoot. Barefoot has just gotten significantly more dangerous -- Harbor Freight opened a tool store a couple of doors down. I remember getting Harbor Freight and Salvage catalogs decades ago.

I also called my Mom. And the YD made a tasty dinner of salad, chicken, asparagus, and yummy gluten-free biscuits brushed with garlic butter.

Links, as usual. Planned Parenthood has a letter you can sign to protest the house's vote to bar federal funding. Drinking Diet Soda Increases Risk of Vascular Events By 61 Percent. That kind of thing.
