Today I had a couple of service calls, and some errands to run in between. Nothing too challenging work-wise. Came home, changed, and drove out to Naperville for a lovely tapas dinner with some great friends, Andy and Amy. Just a lovely evening -- but as dinner wound down G was feeling rather ill, maybe coming down with something. We bid farewell to our friends -- they live more or less on our way out of Illinois, so we hope to stop by to say so long en route to California in 2 weeks (!). It's always a lot of laughs and good conversation with them and we will miss getting together even though our schedules made our visits less frequent than we'd have liked.

Still feeling the after-effects of last night's overindulgence at the Mexican restaurant. Stayed up, played some Splinter Cell, and now to go to bed and sleep for a long, long time. Films to watch, moving work to do tomorrow.
