After work, I dropped by a local watch shop for a little work on two watches. The watch given to me by my Dear Employer needed six links taken out of the watch band; it now fits perfectly. A watch [livejournal.com profile] kent4str gave me some years ago needed a new battery; it now works. :-)

Last night, [livejournal.com profile] cuyahogarvr and I danced Advanced with John Marshall and the Phantom 8s. As expected, we had a fun time dancing and I tried very hard to remember as many little choreographic tricks as I could. Chatting with John & Mary is always a hoot and I'm sure he'll do well as incoming Callerlab chair beginning next Wednesday.

Comcast has pissed off [livejournal.com profile] kent4str once too often. Now that they're switching Cartoon Network to their digital line-up, we either had to upgrade our Comcast service (already $65/month) or toss them overboard to go with a satellite service. The satellites won: we're going with Dish Network. We have an installation appointment for next Thursday.

Our Harper's Ferry Hoedown venue nightmare may soon be over. We have a candidate site selected in the general area of the last venue, has wood dance floors and reasonable rental charges. The search committee seems to be in agreement so now it's a matter of getting a contract. More news when it happens.

It's been a quiet evening at home. So far tonight, I've:
  • caught up on e-mail;
  • caught up on data entry for the 2009 IAGSDC convention;
  • obtained signatures and mailed off misc papers to our financial advisor;
  • finished two work-related documentation projects;
  • caught upon my podcast news listening;
  • talked to [livejournal.com profile] cuyahogarvr's kid #3, confirming we got the wrong video interface cable for her particular MacBook ([livejournal.com profile] kent4str ordered a replacement to be delivered directly to her);
  • cycled some large files off one hard drive of my XP workstation to free some space for more timely stuff;
  • ate dinner;
  • looked over some potential square dance music at various sources & vendors --and opted to buy nothing;
  • put our mail delivery on hold for a week while we're in LA;
  • sent e-mail to misc LA-area friends & exes to see if anyone is available for lunch and/or dinner this weekend.

Just another fun evening at home.
