I did get out this morning before 9 to briefly water the new plantings, including the Korean Spice Viburnum, seeds and red daylilies.

We visited an exhibit of artwork by one of our Harper Center acquaintances at the Congregational Church, then picked up a book on hold at the library, then did a grocery run at Stop & Shop.

I stupidly deleted a file with a SQL Server backup script.

For reasons I don’t understand, someone quite close to me thinks he’s of Italian background. He isn’t; his wife is. He is English, German, Scottish with a tinge of Irish and he looks it: tall, fair-skinned, blue-eyed.

I saw Reshma Saujani, the founder of Girls Who Code and Moms First, on Meet the Press. She is admirable and so are her organizations. I wrote to her about the struggles that those of us who weren’t born lucky in looks have in STEM fields. Hope she writes back.

Got a call around suppertime this evening from a T-Mobile representative who has issued me/us a credit for the Internet service I’d cancelled!
