Greenfield
Good morning! Michelle said it's about ideal a day as we get. It's sunny, dry, and in the low 60's but will warm up later when she takes the boys over to the beach at Greenfield State Park. I have to agree. It made for a pleasant drive into work. I offered up the Sorrowful Mysteries and listened to more of Ubik along the way. The story is really getting good with only about five chapters left to go.
When I got to work both of my computers (the desktop and the laptop) did overnight installations of about a dozen Microsoft security updates. Reboot time! At times like this I wish we just had machines running RedHat or Ubuntu.
Evolution of Treatment —
2000 B.C. - Here, eat this root.
1000 A.D. - That root is heathen. Here, say this prayer.
1850 A.D. - That prayer is superstition. Here, drink this potion.
1940 A.D. - That potion is snake oil. Here, swallow this pill.
1985 A.D. - That pill is ineffective. Here, take this antibiotic.
2000 A.D. - That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root.
London rioters took everything... except books? “If they steal some books they might learn something,”
Via LT_TheBiblegeek: “Jesus is the door (Jn 10:9)...in part because not even God has the patience to open Windows.™”
Via acedtect: “Pedalphiles get such a bad rap. They just don't want to use motors, but they have such horrible brand confusion.”
Left work on the late side, as often seems to happen on Friday. Michelle and the boys had a good day at Greenfield State Park. I caught up on news with my folks for part of the commute and listened to more of Ubik the rest of the drive. The suspense is reaching its peak.
After dinner I tinkered with Michelle's laptop for a while to see how it's holding up. Michelle ran to WalMart to pick up school supplies. I got the boys tucked in bed with their prayers. Good night all. Tomorrow looks like a busy day.
