last few weeks

A lot has happened recently.

I've been working onsite more often, which seems to result in me
staying more focused and getting more work done, resulting in more
income.

So Beatrice and I had our -1th wedding anniversary a week or so ago
--- we're getting married on 2003-06-07.

This morning we got a washer and dryer, so now we have, in some sense,
less space than before; but less of our space will be taken up by
dirty laundry.  Perhaps we can store the food we'd previously stored
in the laundry room in some kind of rack or shelving atop the dryer.

We thought Slink had gotten out of the house into the back courtyard
last night; there are some storage spaces accessible from the back
courtyard that sometimes get closed up so a cat can't escape, so we
went out to try to find her.  After half an hour of searching --- just
as our neighbors began to get involved --- we found her.  She was in
the hall closet.

My mother is getting married next week.  I wish I could attend, but I
didn't find out until a week ahead of time --- and, I think, neither
did she --- so I couldn't get tickets.

Stephen Wolfram finally published _A New Kind of Science_.  I still
haven't gotten my copy.

My friend Brett got hired by the Free Software Foundation.  Now he's
living in Boston, far away from his psychotic parents, changing the
world for the better.

I'd missed lots of Bab5s recently, but then ended up going to one this
last Thursday, which was really nice.  Most people played Scrabble or
Settlers or a third game which I don't remember; I read Russell &
Norvig and chatted with my friend Ping.

Ping is attempting the 28-hour-day circadian rhythm, which gives him
six days per week.  He has a six-day-week clock program for his Treo;
it simply counts 70 seconds every minute.  This keeps him aware of
what time of day it is supposed to be.
