Patrick went to Jumpin Java to write. He also went grocery shopping at Tower Market with Sam. At work I worked on the banner in the morning, went to the computer admins meeting in the afternoon, then worked on the banner some more, then worked on suggestions for Brian Warling and Kamal Gill on their WebCT browsers page. I had lunch at Panda Express. Dinner at home: baby back ribs with lemon rosemary marinade, corn on the cob, rice pilaf. Patrick wrote some more in the evening. Our 25-foot network cable arrived from techonweb—a very pleasant ordering process and my order arrived quickly. The cable enables Patrick to use his laptop on the dining table in the kitchen while still being connected to our mini rack mount unit in living room number 1. While scraping bird shit off my car I met our neighbor Beth. She drives a really old Honda Civic like the one Chris De Lay had except hers is (or used to be) white. She seems very nice, and I thanked her for taking down the electrocution wire placed along the top of the fence so that we could get our couch in the front door. She said it was her boyfriend who did that and she didn't know about it much, but I smiled and said thanks again nonetheless. I invited her to drop by if she felt like visiting.
