Still Sore

Posted by Scott at 11:59 PM

Good morning! It's a Tuesday, what can you say? I dropped the girls off at their schools. Michelle is going to drop the boys off and then go take the Boot Camp class at Golds Gym. I offered up a set of Sorrowful Mysteries for her during my commute. Hoping Michelle's nurse calls her soon. 8:52am

Even though Claire had her last track meet on Saturday, she still intends to do some running with the team after school at an unexpected track meet. And Tim is excited because his netbook is supposed to arrive today. For now he intends to have it dual boot between Windows 7 and Kubuntu. We figure he's got the RAM and GPU to do so, so go for it. 8:55am

Called Michelle just before I stepped out for lunch. She had a good class at Golds. She hasn't heard from her nurse so I asked her to try again. It was overcast but windy and ~70°F outside when I walked over to the cafeteria. According to Amazon, Tim's netbook has arrived. 12:01am

“Of course, there are no plans for US export…” Darn! VW, why must you tease us like this?! (car story link) 12:33am

Congrats to Milford High School on its U.S. News and World Reports ranking. 12:46am

Tried to leave a bit early because I have a conference call at 7pm. 'Twas drizzly the whole way. I listened to a podcast along the way home. Tim is of course excited about the computer that arrived today. Michelle's nurse did call with some tips, but of course more will be examined tomorrow. 5:58pm

A bit anxious because it's going on seven and Claire isn't back from her track meet. While I ate dinner, we got Tim's computer unpacked, through the basic setup, and downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials. Tim will do the advanced stuff over the next day or two. My conference call starts in 10 minutes... 6:47pm

Via iowahawkblog: “The federal government wants to investigate JPMorgan for losing $2B. The federal government loses $2B before lunch every single day.” 7:49pm

Picked up Claire a little after 8 o'clock. Luckily she was able to work on homework at the meet. Got the boys all tucked in bed with their prayers. Setup a humidifier in our room again. Michelle's throat is still sore but manageable for now. Tomorrow's an early day. Good night all! 8:45pm
