There is not much to report today. I had some difficulty sleeping last night after completing my entry. I finished reading Mount Dragon by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. They are the authors of The Relic which is a damn fine book. This one was good light reading. It got a bit preachy about "the dangers of science" at several points, but over all a solid book. It keeps you turning the pages. Next in the queue: Sock by Penn Jillette

At work I am arranging the Argos code into a library for "improved ease of use" (basically we want our GUI to be able to call some wrapper functions). It is about as exciting as watching one's toenails grow.

I read an interesting thread about creepy things to do to characters in a horror adventure this afternoon. There were some good ideas. I may steal a few for Ravenloft because it has been decidedly more "mysterious" than "creepy".

After I made it home I painted the mailbox, worked on taxes, and made some progress on the PUSH website. I lost a lot of time this evening talking with Amber on the phone. She called from her new flat in Colorado. I was glad she called. I had just recently resolved to send her a post card.
