Good morning! I dropped the girls and the twins off at their schools. Then I met Michelle and Timothy at 7:30am Mass. After we had some coffee and pastries, Michelle dropped Timothy off at school and then picked me up at the mechanic. Hopefully today my trunk latch issue can get resolved. I'm working from home today.
Always a bit of a happy day when I notice my SSI is paid off for the year. A little pay boost just in time for the holiday gifts.
Well it didn't take long before the discussion turned this way: Beyond Obamacare via the NYTimes. Excerpt:"We need death panels. [...] Elderly Americans are not entitled to every conceivable medical procedure or pharmaceutical."

Took Michelle for lunch at Cafe on the Oval. All of the windows on the Oval were painted yesterday in honor of this weekend's Pumpkin Festival. On the way back she dropped me off at the mechanic to pick up my car. Can't really tell if the trunk is fixed now that it's 65°F out now.
Been putting it off for over a year but finally decided to "join all the cool kids" and order an SSD for my laptop. When I first started to consider one, the prices were too rich for my blood, but now prices are well below a dollar per gigabyte.
Video: Estimated time until this preacher is called a traitor to his race and an Uncle Tom? Oh... about negative 10 seconds. Forget which party was bound to segregation for years. Forget who initially pushed for civil rights legislation...
Michelle continues to play the role of taxi mom today. She went to meet with the teachers about the twins' IEPs and then brought them home. Now Timothy just got off the bus, but we still don't have the girls. Michelle went to pick up Claire and take her to the clinic for a (hopefully) quick blood test, following up on yesterday's visit.

Woot! Our latest SnapDragon "hotness", the S4 Pro, is coming to Sprint - the carrier we use in my family. (related link)
Just got back from RCIA. Michelle was next door at the church with another meeting. Things ran a bit long for both of us tonight. Abby got a lift home from band tonight and pulled up to the house the same time Michelle and I did.
