Happy Birthday Sev -- 'nother photo shoot n' shopping and n' neighborhood exploratory in Da Big Apple for the birthday sounds fun .

Waiting for a backup job to finish so I can start shutting servers down...

Doing a full re-organization of the server rack and installing a couple new battery backup systems...

I'm glad the Pats are playing tomorrow instead of today.

Not really any shopping, but it was nice taking pictures. Another LONG day of walking. Ended up grabbing a taxi finally when we were 12 blocks from Grand Central, which I NEVER do. But we walked all the way from 42nd down to Battery Park, meandering through Times Square, the Village, Tribeca, Chinatown, Little Italy, East Village, etc. Went in intending to see the NY Burlesque Festival but it sold out--that's what I get for trying to save $12 in Ticketmaster fees. :( So the day did not go to plan at all... but I did walk on the Brooklyn Bridge, so that was something new.

Now, trying to recover. I feel like I have a hangover. Had to pull over on the drive home from the train station for a bit and didn't get into my own bed until around 6:30AM. Happy birthday--I'm getting too old for this! :lol: I have homework I need to do...

marcski - Sorry to hear that about your father-in-law. Hope he recovers quickly.

Thanks warp, and sev and you Wa-loaf. He is moving...and has feeling. I think he will be oik in time with a some inpatient OT. Left arm is the worse ...and he has little fine motor skills. His psyche is the worse thing....given his prior state of health and battling renal cancer. He's a tough one.

Getting really frustrated that the dental division of the 3M corporation appparently doesn't want me to spend some $$ since their online ordering system won't let me place an order, even after my 3rd call to their customer service line in the last couple of days assured me that I could :mad:

Yeah, yeah, a likely story.

I'm supposed to be writing a compare/contrast essay for Shakespeare. Instead, I sort of wandered into my poetry assignment. And the browser just popped up on my screen, I swear! ;)
