Got my blood test results back -- not a whole lot of change from six months ago. At least they're not worse, right? {Right, Bear, but they still mean you ought to lose some weight.}

I may have to call for the PSA numbers. Kaiser is weird about what they put on their website.

I did take a half-hour walk, and my mood was somewhere between ok and good, which I guess isn't too bad.

Dinner was fun. Since we didn't want to spend money going out to someplace expensive, I stopped at Whole Paycheck to see what I could find. I got a (fresh, wild-caught, Alaskan) sockeye salmon fillet, which I cut in half and pan-fried in butter with mushrooms and onion. Colleen pronounced it the best salmon she's ever had, but even if it's the best she's had recently that's doing pretty well. Or maybe she hasn't had it in so long that she's forgotten? Anyway. Further foodie details, on the salad and veg, in the notes.

I also got flax oil, primarily with an eye toward trying it as a cutting board/butcher block finish. It's more commonly known to woodworkers as linseed oil. But I sniffed at it and it seemed interesting; I may try it on a salad, as the label suggests. It's even higher in omega-3 fatty acids than fish oil.

I finished the day buying plane tickets and a car rental for the September 22-28 trip to Seattle. Still need the hotel reservations and the Rainfurrest memberships for Colleen and Chaos.

I started feeling sleepy fairly early. Links in the notes, as usual.
