Well, it's 4:09 pm. I've received the HDD enclosure and puzzles for clients that I ordered from Amazon. I've installed a 750 GB 3.5" drive, twiddled it with Partition Wizard, and now have it attached to my HP computer. I'm currently copying Macrium Reflect backups for three separate PCs to it. I've also copied blog images and my Proofy proofreading app files to it, as well as a large directory of work-related files and subdirectories.

We have play practice in less than an hour. Not really a play. More like a series of skits and monologues that tell the Christmas story. Mom wanted to go eat Mexican; I told her Tues/Wed/Friday would be possibilities.

The foregoing photo was made in the early 1950s and shows my paternal grandparents on the bottom row and — left to right (from camera perspective), my paternal uncle and my father.

Also, this afternoon, I replaced the batteries in my wireless mouse and keyboard connected to my ThinkCenter PC.

I emailed C. E. Wade, i.e. "Chuck", a former trooper turned security-consultant whom mother met during her last gal-pal trek cross-country. He'd told her he wanted to publish a book, and she informed him one of her sons did proofreading work. We'll see if I get a nibble.
