    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt; I must be getting old.  {No, Dad, you've &lt;em&gt;gotten&lt;/em&gt; old.  Get used to
    it.}
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Wednesday I left my bifocals at work and wore the computer glasses home.
    The prescriptions are close enough that I didn't notice until I went
    looking in my bag for the computer glasses.  And yesterday I forgot both
    my usual bill-paying session, and my Thankful Thursday post.  I haven't
    done a Songs for Saturday in weeks.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; So much for momentum.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Nevertheless, I've been sleeping better, taking care of myself more or
    less, and getting quite a lot done at work.  We went out to lunch
    Wednesday to mark the end of R and P's contracts; a tasty Indian place
    called Tandoori Oven.  It seems to be a Bay Area local chain.  Tasty and
    inexpensive.  I still like buffets, though.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; And R finally "got" what I was trying to explain to him yesterday about
    PTYs, with the result that everything is now working.  Go us!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; I also started work on thinning Plink's neck a little.  I'm trying to get
    it down closer to where my other guitars are, to make the thumb barre on D
    and F a little easier.  I think I'm about halfway there, mostly using a
    scraper. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Back to forgetting.  I spent almost all of yesterday evening out in the
    living room with Colleen; it's possible that I was distracted by her food
    porn TV, and perhaps just by being away from my familiar desktop.  It's
    definitely easier to work on the large screen, and I'm more likely to pay
    bills when I can actually reach out and touch them.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Some links, including  fan "mail" for &lt;a href="http://steve.savitzky.net/Songs/wheelin/"&gt;Wheelin&amp;apos;&lt;/a&gt; in
    comments to &lt;a href="http://ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com/2104737.html"&gt;ysabetwordsmith's "Hard Things"&lt;/a&gt; post.  Yay!!
&lt;/p&gt;
