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. 8:49am

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... 8:51am

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. 11:51am

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. 12:52am
