After shuffling around backup sets in Retrospect I got "error -703, need a user-entered password but can't ask". Nothing on the Web about this error. I resolved this problem by opening Retrospect, choosing the Configure tab, double-clicking a backup set, entering its password when prompted, choosing the Options tab, then changing the Password option from "Ask for any access" to "Save for scripted access". Worked on more style guide today: sections 4 and 5 and reviewed everything I did so far. Lunch with Ena and Joel at Sliders Burgers. Prepared USB keys for distribution to staff. Patrick has been writing a new story about someone named Tobias. Dinner at home with Patrick: salad, portobello mushroom sausage with farfalle in Italian tomatoes. Napped. Caught up on e-mail. I felt sick after getting home, probably because of taking vitamins on an empty stomach. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftovers. We talked about money, spending, cities, moving, and apartment prices while waiting for my stomach to feel better. Watched The Simpsons: Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington, which we liked very much—better than the average Simpsons episode.
