Thankful, ok, Saturday

Well, not quite as late as last week -- that's something. Today I'm thankful for

• Getting our net/phone wiring fixed. The former rat's nest has been simplified; it'll cost us $89 for an inside-wiring job, but it was worth it.
• An Ubuntu laptop at work. I needed it because I'm on loan to another group, and working remotely through Windows is a nightmare. Sweet little HP EliteBook; not as capable as the Dell I've had for the last year, but without Windows it doesn't need to be; it's half the weight and fits in my sling bag.
• Maybe doing better at work than my own self-assessment led me to believe.
• Gin, hard cider, and new friends.
• My family.
• Our house. I still miss some things about the Starport, but Rainbow's End is truly wonderful.
