The storm that was supposed to arrive tonight seems to be here. It’s about 9 p.m. and the rain started about a half-hour ago. It’s still too warm for snow but that’ll change in the next hour or so. Rain before snow means very slick roads tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, Denver is whomping up on New England (much to Nina’s dismay) in the NFL playoff game. It’s been a fairly quiet day.

We went to town around noon to run errands. I wanted to go to the Sprint store to see about a new phone but the helper person was distinctly unhelpful. She couldn’t figure out how to access my account and the person who could help was “too busy”. I left with little useful information. I’ll call Sprint customer service one of these days and get a detailed explanation on my account so that I’ll know what’s possible when I go back to the store. The new Treo phone really looks nice, but the price is quite high. That was a very frustrating visit to the Sprint store! Nina did a little grocery shopping at Fred Meyers and we came back home for the rest of the day. I’ve been primarily doing computer work since then. I updated software on my computer, on Nina’s computer, on the iMac Mini, and on the two Linux servers. So far all of that has gone OK. For some reason, a couple of programs on Nina’s laptop have lost their link with the start menu, so I’ll need to reinstall them tomorrow after she’s finished working on her talk for tomorrow at the Womens Correctional Center (we’ve been kind of asked to stop using the term “womens prison” for some reason). She’s talking both tomorrow morning and tomorrow evening. Today is Madison’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Madison!
