Geocaching
Sarah and I went geocaching today. We replaced one of our caches that had been stolen. We also looked for one cache, but I suspect it has been stolen. It was supposed to be an easy find but 45 minutes of looking revealed nothing. Perhaps we’ll try another one tomorrow. That fresh snow makes the search a lot more difficult.
Agenda for today
Go to the library with Sarah (take the bus?) Geocaching Replace Major League Discovery Find new ones close to home Work at 113 Clean the refrigerator Finish installing the drawer pulls switchplate inventory install glass light fixtures put on the door rail put on the stair rail drill holes for window bolts

Great Customer Service
It’s rare these days, so I figured it’s worth noting, but we just had a really great experience at Red Robin, which was already becoming one of my favorite restaurants prior to today. After ordering our food and waiting a little bit, I just started to think it was taking a while when the manager came over and apologized for the delay and offered to bring us something while we waited. ...
An Amazing Day
I went to the Cubs game today with my daughter and a friend of mine and his daughter. I had extremely high expectations for the day. As it approached my daughter and I became more and more excited about it. Well, it certainly delivered. I expect that our trip yesterday will turn out to be a life highlight and we’ll both remember it for the rest of our lives. Not only was it a terrific...
Is this a new iTunes Feature?
I love iTunes, but my main complaint was that after I buy a song and I want to buy the rest of the album, I THOUGHT I had to pay for the entire album. Today I noticed that my price for the album was the original cost, minus the cost of the songs I had already purchased, so I’m just paying the difference. Is this new? I LOVE IT!
Outraged.
“Are most people as unrelentingly indignant in real life as their online personas would suggest? Or do they just stockpile their miscellaneous monocle-dropping for the benefit of a notional electronic audience? Because, I gotta tell you: on a given day, a lot of people on the internet seem like the most unlikable freshman in the dorm.” A very insightful quote from Merlin Mann here....

The Riches
Great show, but I don’t know if they can go beyond a single season with this. Of course, I think I thought the same thing about 24 and Lost. Amazing performance by Eddie Izzard in tonight’s episode “This is your Brain on Drugs.” He overdoses on meth on has a series of very funny and emotional events. Excellent.
