  * up 7:40; W=196; drugs, nose, teeth, hair, dishes, coffee, light
  * Bagels and lox for Father's Day breakfast.  Kid nowhere in sight.
    We don't complain about this because, hey, more for us.  Father's Day
    is pretty much like any other weekend day around here. 
  @ This machine destroys everything - Boing Boing 
  : OK, that's *three* things I know of that have gone missing from the pile
    next to the computer.  They almost certainly vanished in the run-up to
    last Saturday's party.  Now where in *hell* did I put them?
    ... and they're not in the 2010 box, either.
  * 15min:  light bulbs.  
  % Puttering mode is often a matter of:  see something out of place; put it
    where it belongs; repeat.
  * 15min: started working on Baycon concert split
  * 1ish: st/roll - Rose Garden, Goodwill, Cash&Carry
  * laundry - drying the blankets 
  * 15min: finished the Baycon concert split.  needs index, post.
    Also needs mp3 conversion -- lame probably needs the multimedia repo.
    There's a sox format for it, though.
  * dinner:  tomato/onion/avocado/mozzerella salad, salmon roll-ups,
    toasted bagels.  Glutino GF "bagels" are the best I've tried.
  * called Mom, Al.
  & spent too much time in tvtropes.org
  * added debian-multimedia.org to apt/sources.list; installed lame
  * finished the Baycon concert conversion
  * 15min:  some cleaning under the desk
  * finished the concert index page:

  * bath 10:30ish

Yesterday was a good day. Colleen had bought a slab of lox at Costco ($20 for 1.5lb), so I went out in the morning and bought bagels for her and the YD. The Glutino gluten-free bagels, which we keep in the freezer, are the best I've tried so far; I've had some grocery-store bagels that were worse.

Colleen and I had the little bit of left-over fish for dinner, rolled up around cream cheese, onion, and capers. (There was also a salad consisting of heirloom tomatoes, half an onion, an avocado, and fresh mozzerella, with basil and oregano from our front yard.)

We went for a st/roll in the early afternoon; our usual route down around and through the Rose Garden, and back via Goodwill and Cash & Carry.

I then spent over an hour in REI looking at shoulder bags and rolling carry-ons. Found several that I liked; I may go back for the 19" rolling backpack. The sling bag... I don't know.

And I did some puttering -- mostly a matter of: see something out of place, put it where it belongs, repeat.

And finally, I'm pleased to announce that I finished splitting and uploading my concert at Baycon 2011, only two weeks after the event.

Oh, and I called Mom and, finally, my brother. Who is moving to Logan, Utah with his fiancée, which puts him close enough for the occasional visit and gives me a good excuse to go to Conduit next year.

So, yeah. Good day.
