A full day

eve_primeI'm wearing new glasses. My brain has to learn to tune out the bifocal part, and I have to learn to hold my head at a different angle to use the laptop. They're pretty nice, though.
D's new class schedule has no room for band, which is what he was hoping for - now he can see what he needs to do to stay qualified for youth symphony without it.
Also my paper #1 of the four I'm writing this summer reached a new stage of completion; I sent it to our consultant for her input.
We went to dinner again with our visiting guests. Apparently they visit the author Tad Williams on a regular basis! They discovered a new restaurant for us - one that I'd been especially interested in visiting but wasn't thinking consciously about - the Elkhead Brewery. They specialize in ciders and Southern food. Really quite good!
Meanwhile, Oliver the con artist cat used his desperate-and-angry meow technique to cause D. some worry. He called me at the restaurant to ask if he should feed Oliver. No, no, no. I think Oliver has driven Samantha away; she hasn't come to be fed in several days now.
J. has completed five years of employment with his company and gets to select a gift from a special website, which has a rather amusing selection. Lots of dust-busters and golf balls.
We watched J. play a bunch more of Hollow Knight. He certainly got a lot of new skills and abilities tonight. The best seem to be the wall jump, longer sword range, and a new "hurricane" strike with the sword.
