So the Web is now 20 years old, and I have acquired a Google+ account. We'll see how that goes -- I'm finding the circle thing rather annoying at present. And I'm not sure whether I should have used the mdlbear or the ssavitzky account -- it's the former at present; that's also the ID my YouTube account is under. So that may be ok.

We went up to San Francisco with the YD to see the Lamplighters production of H.M.S. Pinafore. Great fun, as usual. They made one casting decision that had me guessing all through the show, but they made it work. There are still some performances left in Mountain View and Walnut Creek -- don't miss it. I'll try to remember to post the spoiler after the run's over. The cast seemed very young, for the most part.

~No, daddy, you're just getting old.~ Thank you, Ame.

We finished the afternoon with dinner at Buck's in Woodside; Colleen and I had the softshell crab tostada, which towered more than six inches high and included a generous helping of Dungeness crab meat as well as the eponymous battered and fried crustacean on the top.

Links, as usual. rowanf points to an article on How To Remove Your Personal Information From Background Check Websites, which looks useful.

So, once again, I have managed to overlook a day's worth of notes and end up having to post them out of sequence. This doesn't bother me too much, but it bothers me.

Fortunately, my Hiroshima Day post was done separately. That may have been what threw off my reckoning, actually.

My headache, etc., came back, leading me to speculate that it takes a couple of days for the methocarbomol and naproxen to build up a sufficient concentration. My doctor confirmed it this afternoon, diagnosing it as a trapezius muscle strain. Did I mention that it hurts?

I also bought what turned out to be a Manhasset table top music stand. Very light weight. With a minor application of vice grips, it attaches nicely to a mic stand quick-connect... and fits nicely in my checked suitcase.

I did quite a lot of puttering, of various sorts.

A pretty good day, actually. Links up in the notes, as usual.
