Mike's Journal

Thomas woke up very early this morning and told me, quite seriously, “Back in the old days of Montana, everybody singed.” Then he went on to other things. I have no idea where that came from. (Later on, he went back to bed for a nap, since he was clearly up too early for his own temper). I spent my morning writing and supervising schoolwork. Some of this was at half speed, as our T1 line dropped out for a few hours before lunch (part of a much wider Qwest outage, apparently). I logged on to the net with the Sprint modem so I could upload things, albeit slowly.

After lunch, I did a bunch of work as well as some grocery shopping. Fortunately it was a light week at the grocery store; for some reason there were three times as many customers as usual on a Wednesday afternoon in there and the checkout lines were unusually backed up.

For dinner, I made some pork cutlets with strawberry sauce, asparagus, and mashed potatoes.

After dinner, I worked until bedtime for kids, then spent 40 minutes or so working out before retiring myself.
