Usual oatmeal breakfast. Patrick helped me take photos of the figs and persimmons that Melissa had given me on Saturday. Met with Susie, discussed the Ogilvy project. Updated and distributed phone number cheat sheets. Answered questions from an applicant. Set up Lucia with e-mail to the OSACA account. Minor web updates: staff pages, Mary Anne title change. Handed back virus-free laptop for student JI. Helped School of Medicine student BV with e-mail questions (Office 2007 beta—unsupported). Answered questions from Chris and Susie about .url attachment blocking. Helped student BY with a laptop problem (OS X, humming noise, old anti-virus, how to back up data). Re-ghosted the server. It took less time than I was expecting—only about an hour. Lunch: Panda Express, which now has Mongolian Cow and Mongolian Chicken. I had a Panda Bowl with steamed rice, broccoli (instead of the mixed veggies because they were out), and Mongolian Cow. I liked the new dish—it was not spicy at all. Dinner at home with Patrick. Patrick invented a new dish: penne in red sauce with shrimp, bacon, corn off the cob, and broccoli. I call it penne a la kamikaze. He also made biscuits to go along with it. Processed photos. Weight training: modified barbell curl, modified preacher curl, crunch, leg lift. Today I notice that velcro.com is the most interesting I can recall. Only a few years ago I remember finding it very difficult to get accurate information about velcro products, so I decided to look at velcro.com again later when I had more time.
