The list is long today. Natural Foods Store, ReStore, Painting. Music will be involved. Not sure which kind. Jazz, Industrial seem to be the two top ones.

Dan, what are you looking for at ReStore? Anything in particular?
That reminds me, I've been trying to figure out something to use as a background for our booth. I feel like we need one, but I don't want to spend a lot of money on it. We've thought of framing 6 2'x3' stretched canvas then painting it and connecting them with hinges, but I'm afraid that's a lot of work for something that's not really needed. I thought about looking at ReStore for some shutters and hinging those together like a privacy screen, but for it to be tall enough, it wouldn't fit in the car. What I'd really like to do is display some of Brian's beaded curtains, but I don't know how we could cheaply build something to hang them.
There was a big, full moon in the West as I came to work this morning. It looked really cool with the gradient colors on the horizon just below it.
We're supposed to get up to about 57° today but then a cool down is coming. It's January 10th, it could be -10° for high temps so I won't complain if it drops back to the 20's again.
My nephew has been ice fishing this winter, but he's had to stop now. The ice around here is getting too thin for it to be safe.
The boy has decided that he wants to change from the alto sax to tenor. They play the same, the main difference is that the tenor is an octave lower and thus a bigger horn. We met with the school music teacher to talk about it and the teacher was excited because most kids start with the alto and stay there. He said he'd love to have a tenor. We had rented his alto for the first semester to give him time to make sure it's what he wanted. I'm glad we didn't buy it. He is doing really well and acts like he intends to continue with it, so we will go ahead and buy this one. If you rent, the rent money does go towards the purchase price, but the price is full retail. If we buy it outright, they will take 20% off . . . when you're talking a $1,900 retail priced instrument, 20% is significant. So, I gotta call the music store and tell them to get us one ordered (they didn't have any on hand right now).

Good day, all. Its a slow one here at the office, but that's okay. I'm going to leave here in a few minutes and go meet the BFF for his late birthday lunch. He is also giving me a really nice, solid oak TV stand, Weird, huh... his birthday yet he insists on giving me a present. He remodeled his house last year and decided that he needs new furniture for it now. Sure do wish I had his budget!
Not sure what I'll do with the rest of my day. So far I've just been making other people do stuff so I can eventually do something I need to do.
Cool on the tenor sax, Web. I hope Web, Jr. enjoys it.
Have a great day, all!

I thought you had billing to do? How many times are you going to wash your hair? You realize you are going to have to finish the billing. You may as well as get it done now.

By the way, my billing is still entirely caught up. After rushing in December to get five months of billing caught up, right now I'm quite proud of myself.
So if I can do it Web, so can you.

I had a list of things to do that I have put off. Address changes, email changes upgraded accounts to note, etc, etc. Lots of exercises in data entry. I'm working on all that back stuff which is very time consuming and getting that done and up to date before I start running through the list on billing.
