We have one day a week when the babysitter stays late; I have dubbed this “Movie Day.” So far we’ve seen two movies this way.

There were several reasons why, although paramount among them (for me) is that Catch Me If You Can was showing in the snappy new Galleria, whereas Chicago is at the run-down and kind of icky AMC theaters near us.

We went to see Catch Me If You Can this evening. Good movie, but I am too drained to do the review now. I am going downstairs to read a little more of the current novel I am working my way through, Colleen McCullough’s The October Horse and then (hopefully) get 5 or 6 hours straight before Simon wakes me up for his middle-of-the-night chat session.

Have I mentioned recently how totally bonzer the Internet is?

I mentioned yesterday our AirPort hub broke.

Last night, Dan Winkler, a guy who used to work with Darin and who reads NKA, offered to send us his old one so it would have a good home.

Whoo hoo! We’ll have wireless networking way before we manage to get our hands on Airport Extreme!
