We are up and have had waffles and mac has had a few episodes of Justice League. Now it is time for shower and then we will be off to the city to meet up with his uncle. They will be off to ride the Staten Island Ferry and explore downtown, and I will go to see fictional boyfriend, Jason Bourne.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Man, I love the Staten Island Ferry.

Yay, uncles!
It's just cool enough out for shoes and a sweater, but warm enough to sit out on the patio with my laptop and a bagel.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm dressed and coffee-filled and have the workshop schedule all printed out. I'm going to have to cheat and have a friend sign me off on a class I didn't take so I can get out of there in time to give Hec a decent chunk of writing time, but by gum I am GOING TO WORKSHOPS.
Long, long, long drive down to Gilroy awaits.

I was gonna say, you're sure up early! Now I know why -- enjoy!
I found out this week that I may well qualify for a special Unemployment extension if I'm enrolled in certain year-long programming training classes, which would be financially tight, but actually very useful to do. So tomorrow I'm going to go talk to a state unemployment counselor and find out if I do qualify, because, DAMN that would be great.

I think I might go buy a new TV today, and I realized part of what's so weird to me about that -- I've never bought a TV! When I graduated from college, I got an ancient one from my family, and then the current one is my Jeopardy consolation prize! I guess getting 12 years out of a free TV isn't so bad.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Jesse, I still have my old 27" TV to get rid of.

Hmmm, I can only recall buying two TVs, the last but one is still upstairs, mostly unused in my study. There was a B&W one that I had in college -- I wonder if I bought it in high school or not, when I got my first stereo, or a parental present? (I'm only on my second stereo system....)
Anyway, Jesse, you have my full permission to qualify for buying a (new) TV at this point. It's not, you know, ostentatious.

Yeah, I think the maneuvering is too much, sadly. The PCRichards four blocks away from my house will apparently deliver for free.

I hope you have a better experience with PC Richard than Jessica had.
ION, I am driving myself insane trying to straighten up the mess of wires behind my TV and computer.
