Ok, so Berta and I went to the Global Advantage thing - hopefully it can help get a good price on my upcoming trip to India.
We dropped Abby off at Mom's around 7pm on Wednesday. I left work at a reasonable time, and when I got home, I got to play catch with Abby. I was sad when I had to stop the playtime to cart her to Mom's for the dropoff, and things only got worse.

You may be wondering where the tarot cards in the title sequence of HBO’s Carnivale come from. Answer: They don’t exist. They were composited by A52 from works of classical art scrounged by researchers from Absolutely Archives. Darn cool, though. http://www.darnellworks.com/a52/nr0052.htm
I got this message on the answering machine at home. It was some guy telling me that I had put my name into a drawing and that I had won a prize. It sounded conspicuously like some kind of advertising pitch for a three reasons: 1) He started talking before the beep and the beginning of the message was cut off, so he was probably a recording. 2) His voice sounded like it was coming through one of those lousy headsets with people in the background. 3) He didn't use my name. The whole thing sounded like a recording just meant to be dialled at random.
Anyway, I ignored it. He said something about winning a car or some nonsense, but if it was some marketing thing I didn't feel interested.
I had to clean up my office this week because they're painting it while I'm on vacation, and I came across a strangely labeled CD. The title said "Packard Bell P-75". We didn't ever use a Packard Bell computer at work, so I knew it must be a disk from our old home computer.
I put the disk in the drive and looked through the directories. On there, I found two directories full of pictures from our first digital camera, the Casio QV-11. It's funny how all of that technology now fits into a watch.
