Michelle took the 4 younger ones with her to the YMCA so she can teach her killer Step 'n abs class. Claire's home with me as I VPN into work to write a multisample anti-aliasing test. Later I'll take her to gymnastics.
Updating the OS (Ubuntu) on Claire's laptop. It's been 49 days and there's ~250MB worth of updates to install. Always thankful for broadband...

I dropped Claire off at her gymnastics class. Then stopped by Subways for a quick lunch. Michelle is visiting her surgeon to review her MRI from a couple of weeks ago. Hoping to get a good phone call soon.
Called Michelle to hear how the doctor visit went. The MRI looks good, as much as they can tell. Her chemo "port" does cause some interference/artifacts, but what they could see looked good. They'll be eager to look again next time when the "port" has been removed. Starting at 1pm I have two back to back conference calls with San Diego.

Wrapped up the day with an evening Step circuit class at Golds. (related link) Michelle tried to take the kids to the pool but it was closed because of an accident.
