Woke at 5, couldn't sleep. Woke at 8. Breakfast: 8 ounces of vital veggie juice, one organic banana. Rode my bike to work. Linkchecking, Flickr work, kiosk work. Small web edit for Joel: provisional admit reply ack. C3 technical meeting. Updated a document and a tiny URL for Cindy regarding alumni scholarships. Lunch at Dean Mary Anne's house with many associate deans and staff of the school, a kind of farewell meal; she retires in 9 days. The meal was gourmet all the way: simplified descriptions: gazpacho with diced watermelon and heirloom tomato, tuna with grilled vegetables over toast, puff pastry with strawberries and vanilla whipped cream. She gave a "10-minute" speech individually thanking everyone in the room for how important he or she is to the school. This is my second time having a meal at her house, and both times have been special, memorable occasions for me. Web updates for Susie: July 1 dean changeover. Jazzee meeting with Orlando, Michael W, and Cindy. Jazzee meeting research and followup. Supp app work in Drupal: setup for DDS PDF, field size adjustments. Rode my bike home. On the way home I stopped at Everybody Bikes and got my misaligned gear shift unit adjusted. It took only a few minutes, and the tech didn't want to charge me anything, but I gave him $10 anyway after he suggested $5. Dinner at home with Patrick: more leftovers. Folded yesterday's remaining laundry. Did some long-neglected ironing. More laundry. Folded half of it. Late snack: popcorn from a large saucepan.
