Tired ramblings

[madbaker]

I only got about five hours' sleep last night, so if this post seems more random than usual, that's my excuse.

Short reunions yesterday:

I visited maestrateresa briefly. Good to see her, and good that she's on the road to recovery. Granted, it's a bumpy, rocky, potholed road, but still. I also stopped in the store where Bonefinder works. There was something there I needed, but it was also a convenient excuse to say hello as I hadn't seen him most of this year... he's doing reasonably well, if quite busy with his martial arts. He's looking forward to returning to the GSP next year. (So am I.)

I forgot to put the malfunctioning computer in the car this AM. Since I'm supposed to meet my volunteer tech-support guy at lunch to hand it off for inspection, this is annoying.

What good is the pinky finger? Other than serving as a ring repository for lounge lizards. Why can't we have a second opposable thumb on that side? That would be useful.

I tried out a French-press commuter mug for the first time today. It worked reasonably well, and certainly held the heat much better than the cheap plastic mugs I generally use. I haven't cleaned it yet, which may be a deciding factor whether it gets used again.
That sentence structure looks remarkably tortured but I can't be bothered to fix it.
