Yay! Me!  
logoAs usual, I was worrying about nothing.  Square Dancing was a blast!  it's going to be the perfect physical activity to add to my week.  The newbies join "classes" that run for 12 weeks and cost $50 (or $60 if you do not pay up front).  The fall class starts Wednesday night.  After the spring class is done, then you've learned enough to dance the steps and keep up with most square dancers.  (Of course, there are advanced levels and competitions and such that require more training -- hardcore square dancing!)  There is still time for others to join.

I'm very glad that I went!

I upgraded my computer to Ubuntu Edgy Eft Beta.  I started on Friday.  I'm regretting it, somewhat.  It did not go smoothly, mainly because I tinker with my Linux installation all the time.  The upgrade broke mid-stream and I've been finishing it here and there.  Everything works.  I am very impressed with what the Ubuntu and Debian teams have done here.  I am going to have to run Microsoft Windows Vista, because inevitably, I'll have to support it.  But for someone who doesn't want to shell out $250 for Vista's Professional, Ubuntu is a great alternative and I plan to run it on several systems here at home.

Plan today:

1.  Bowling (more bowlers are needed!)
2.  Pick up my Rx at the drugstore

Saturday - 2006-09-30  
The plan for today was to go help move Esthers' Pantry, but I woke up late.  Last night, I was pretty tired from bowling, but wound up enough to make sleep difficult.  I never RSVP'd to help in the move -- I was just going to show up and help.  Hopefully, they got enough support.

The other plan for today was (or is) to go to Square Dancing, but I'm thinking about chickening out.  I planned to go stag, but that makes me nervous.  So today I've asked a couple of friends, but they're all unavailable.  I really need to go.  Not only do I need more social outlets, I need another physical activity in my life.  I'll go.  I WILL GO!  4pm, I'll be dressed and out the door.

Sheesh.

I bowled 140s/140s/190s last night.  My average is 153.  We won the first and third game, and probably also won total points.  That should put us in one of the first 3-4 spots in the league!

Recap Plan for Friday:  I got everything done!
