On the whole a very good day. Hey, it started out with a crab&egg scramble, included a dinner of sea scallops and white corn with white wine, and ended with singing, a hot bath, and snuggle.
In between there was a successful shopping trip. I scored a Netgear WNR3500L router at Fry's for $89 (last time I looked they were running about $150), and a Dahon Espresso folding bicycle at Cardinal in Palo Alto. They were having a sale: $350 for any bike in the store. (There was one out in front for $500 that I really wanted, but...)
I had to leave Gryphon in something of a hurry -- they had a couple of Martin tenor guitars, and a bass uke (strung with thick rubber strings and no bigger than a travel guitar -- yummy). I didn't dare touch the used Martin...
There's a certain amount of second-thinking going on right now. I wanted the router because my current wireless router doesn't operate in bridge mode (and also because the 3500L is open source, with gigabit networking, 802-11N, and a USB port). But really I could have gotten by for another year or so without it, and now I have to wonder what's the best way to integrate it into the network.
The bike, similarly, is a 26" model with 21 speeds; should I have gotten a 16" one with only 7 speeds, but that folds down a lot smaller? This one does fit in a specially-made suitcase, so I could fly with it...
Well, enough of second thoughts. I made the best decisions I could with the information I had, and I did so quickly without hours or days of waffling the way I usually do. I came home a happy Bear, and I'm not complaining.
Several people are starting to ask about the next CD(s), though...
