Good morning! Our five day weekend is officially over. Time for me to stop watching "Red Eye" and get moving. All the kids to school, Michelle off to teach Step, working from home. 5:55am

Question: with so many folks having broadband at home, is today really "Cyber Monday"? Do we really need to leach Internet from work during our lunch break anymore? Heck, I have better Internet bandwidth at home than I do when I'm at the Concord office. 5:56am

Kids at school, Michelle at the Merrimack YMCA, I'm home VPN'd into the office. That five days of vacation is history... 9:20am

The UPS guy just stopped by. I've never received a box from (related link) before, but six months worth of photos and a set of Christmas card photo inserts will tend to do that! 10:07am

Political twist on iPhone ads: "If you need... there's a czar for that..." 4:52pm

Back from a good Step class. I really pushed myself tonight. I offered up (in the Catholic sense) the physical struggle for: a) my mom's hospital visit today b) my aunt Judy Olsen's surgery tomorrow and c) my wife's visit on Wednesday (another chemo infusion). I pray all goes well on all three fronts. 6:50pm

Watched the first half of the 1979 "Star Trek the Motion Picture" with Michelle. Part of the reason was to remind Michelle (an old Trekkie) about one of the prettiest bald women in motion picture science fiction, the Deltan navigator named Ilia. (related link) Good night all! 9:52pm
