Woke at 3 AM coughing, couldn't get back to sleep. Researched web hosting providers. Patrick woke and went to tai chi practice. Back to bed at 5:45 AM. Woke around 7:20 AM. Weight training: kneeling kickback, sidelying leg lift. Usual oatmeal breakfast. Shower. Graduation documents and web pages update for Cindy. Reviewed furniture installation proceedings for Eric D. Lunch: leftover sandwich from yesterday. Began troubleshooting slow computer behavior for student CT. BTS styling: IE screen stylesheets. 32 items in my inbox. I forgot to mention that recently I experienced extraordinary service from Delessio and from the Jewish Community Center. At Delessio last Saturday morning a friendly man took one minute out of his day to genuinely welcome me with a smile, ask me if it was my first visit there, and also chat with me briefly. At the JCC every worker I encountered had a smile, one food worker complimented me on my Zara wool coat, the food was excellent, and the pastries were surprisingly affordable. Dinner at home with Patrick: cow stew.
