That'd be an interesting item--what song was playing during your first kiss.
Wish I could remember.

Re #54 - I believe it was "London Calling" by the Clash.

No song, but it was just after watching Schindler's list.  Not sure what that
says.  :)

No song, but we were in the cockpit of her dad's Cessna (On the ground, it
was much later when I joined the Mile High Club)

Hmm... some weird song on a mixed tape the guy had made.

Sleep schedule seems to be skewing back towards the normal morning time.

Re #60: Was she a contortionist? ;)  I've been in a few small airplanes
and they make compact cars look roomy.

IHB Zingerman's Roadhouse is as good as I'd hoped.  (Based on one visit, that
is.  Certainly further testing will be required.  :)

Indeed.  The menu is changing regularly (they say daily, but I only have
two samples, several days apart).  We should arrange a grex-test. :)

IAHB we got the boat back to its dock; the owner was afraid we'd have
to fetch up wherever we could and walk back (south) to the marina.
The experience was . . . exhilarating.  (The boat was one the owner had
built.)

Phone call today for another job interview next week-- the employer is 
the folks that built my parents' house.  I'm encouraged that more 
interviews are turning up in the job search  If only I could get to 
the job offer stage now...

Got the new Neal Stephenson book last night.  Pretty good so far...

Some idiot-proof software... wasn't, quite.

Given that most programmers are idiots, this code seemed
*designed* to frustrate any attempt to modify it usefully.
It had unrelated hardware initializations, was set up to
cause spurious interrupts if another hardware subsystem
was activated, and had zero useful comments.  This might
have been intended as a minefield of bugs to prevent
modification by the aforesaid idiots; touch anything and
it breaks.  (Or perhaps just a bunch of cruft left over
from idiots.  Half-dozen names in the headers on some files.)

Got it analyzed, stripped out the superfluities, re-jiggered
the principles of operation (worked the first time, amazingly
enough), found the underlying bug that caused the need for this
work in the first place, fixed THAT... system runs smooth as
silk now when it used to crash left and right.

Damn I feel good.

Neal Stephenson is just a TRP CC.

I'm safely home after my... er, our honeymoon.  There is no phone line yet
in my new "home," so by internet conectibility is pretty much nil.  I'm logged
on from my mother's house at the moment, and only to post this message.  The
ceremony, the day, and the trip were all just terrific.

(#67: have you seen the Metaweb?  Stephenson set up a wiki for annotations
(his own and others') on Quicksilver and on people/events/concepts mentioned
therein.  It would probably be interesting if I weren't so afraid of spoilers
that I've avoided reading anything on it.

Where did you go on the honeymoon?  (I got behind in agora last time).

IHB I get to see Radiohead tomorrow.  I have the homework and the lab work
all finished for monday morning, so all I have to do it go to my classes,
count some E. aureus, and then I am off to Atlanta! booha!

IHB I had an overall lovely weekend in Michigan.  Apple picking with the boy
and his parents, Whole Foods and a bookstore visit with mine, and tickets to
the Wings v Leafs preseason game Saturday night (the 1-1 tie, not the 4-2
loss).  I've missed hockey season.  Not quite as much as I miss my boy, but
him I can at least call.
