Good Saturday

Slept long and well last night. Between camping in Chas. City, my cold, and work, it was the best sleep in over a week.

colgaffneyis quarterly membership meeting was today. This went quickly and smoothly under the circumstances. Several concerns about money, other resources, and personalities are very much with us, but the organization is coping so far this year. Despite limited publicity, quite a few members showed.

I rebuilt my main home computer this afternoon after Thursday’s hard disk failure. I had some hassles with hardware issues but none with the software (Slackware Linux) itself. I have a little configuration still to do but the system is usable now. Much easier than the last few times I have done a Windows install.

Watched The Producers (the original 1960’s version) on TV after dinner. It has been a favorite of mine for nearly 40 years, but I had not seen it in a while and had forgotten just how funny it really is.

Out sick

Left work early with a bad cold, and am missing Irish Class tonight. I feel bad about that. I have missed two classes this April, while I only missed one in the previous year. But I have no energy, and I certainly do not want anyone else in my class to catch my cold.

No energy–other good things about Charles City which I want to mention, but deserve more discussion than I can manage now …The crossbow with the purpleheart stock in the SCA camp….the woodworker there who, like me, is a disciple of St. Roy (but he is far more advanced)….The trebuchet….the nuns with the Irish Gaelic Prayers (mia_mcdavid can say more about them).
