(no relation to TurkeyCon.)
We made excellent time on the drive yesterday, with Lou driving the whole trip. His coughing is still pretty bad, so I've decided that even if he says he can drive the whole way without being tired, I won't let him drive all the way back. He is just more wiped out if he doesn't take a real break, I think.
Today was relaxation and recovery day from the drive. Lou had difficulty sleeping with the coughing, which unfortunately translated to me nto getting a lot of sleep. We were up at 3:00, and then up again at 6:00. However, to both of our surprise, we fell back asleep and stayed asleep until 8:30.
I put on the LotR:FotR DVD that the Gaineys' have (Luc bought the FULLSCREEN version, silly woman), while Ryan played Starcraft against Lou. Then Lou taught Bridget how to play. Later, Munchkin was played by Grant, Jack, and both kids while Lou showered to hopefully help his cough (not so much, alas). Luc worked on her lesson plans for this week.
I learned tonight how to crimp a CAT5 cable, and found it terribly amusing that the instructions he was using were from the Scholarly Technology Group, which is at Brown, where I work. So I crimped some cable, plugged in the wireless base station (since I forgot cables! Doh!), got online, bookmarked the instructions. Now I just have to get the cable and a crimper and the ends for work and we can make our own. Whoo-hoo!
Tomorrow is the game store run. Wednesday is Harry Potter, and Friday is Attack of the Clones in IMAX. I'm hoping to get in Spirited Away some time, but we may not get that chance. Scott Whitney also called, so we'll probably meet up with him sometime.
I've pigged out terribly today; going to have to get that back under control tomorrow. Maybe I can schedule a grocery store run for some easy-to-munch-on veggies.
And since we're set up to tape Buffy and Smallville at home this week, I'm missing Alias and Boomtown. *sigh* I so want TiVo/Replay TV.
