There are no pics this week.

My big news is that I planned a trip to Mom’s. I’ll be in W. Palm Beach March 24 – 27. Danita’s not coming this year. She’ll be writing the proposal to renew the research contract with NASA.

Wednesday was my busy day this week. I had lunch with Tony Chaprnka. We went to the Sunshine Grill in Kingsville and spent a very pleasant 2 hours talking about geek stuff. That evening, Danita and I took our first Tai Chi class. I’m not sure it’s going to take for me. We learned the first 4 moves of the Yong Short Method. We are supposed to practice them daily, but so far I haven’t.

Another thing I’ve spent time on this week is my computer. The WiFi keeps on disconnecting. It seemed to be happening more frequently. I decided to do something about it when it disconnected just as I clicked the button to by my air line ticket to W. Palm Beach. Stupid computers. And stupid computer companies. HP tried to tell me the extended warranty I bought for my computer didn’t apply. After a vigorous and frank discussion, they decided to connect me to tech support. Of course they had to check the drivers and generally  waste a bunch of everybody’s time. But at the end of the call Friday (with the “supervisor”), they asked to confirm my address. I take it this means they might send somebody to replace my WiFi board after the next call Monday morning.

I wish I could say that was the only bureaucratic hassle I had to overcome. I got a new windshield on my car. We have EZ Pass transponders to make going through toll lanes easy. The glue on my windshield stick-um was all gooey and disgusting. One can get new stick-ums for free, but only if one is an authorized person on the account. I set up our EZ Pass account. When we moved, I changed Danita’s transponder from “tunnel commuter” to “standard”. But somehow, only Danita is an authorized person on our account. Grrrrrrr.

The SOCA party this week is Bingo tonight. Danita will be attending this activity unescorted.

Late tomorrow morning I have my first monthly counting session at Church. We’ll see how effective my formal training was. We’re having a pot-luck dinner with Circle Sunday evening.

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
