Things I did today:

• I drove Jessi to Fitchburg to take her teacher’s test. I’m fairly certain that it’s the most North that I’ve ever driven.
• I lounged about the house, enjoying my first weekend in a while without homework to do.
• I read the current issue of Reader’s Digest and the rest of a great book on Web site usability called Don’t make me think.
• One of the things I tried to do today was participate in a Magic Online draft. After my last pick, the server crashed. When it finally came back up, the cards I had drafted were gone, along with the packs I had used to enter the draft. Wizard’s Customer Service emailbox is now likely full of requests for refunds from consumers like me.
• I drove back to Fitchburg to pick Jessi up.
• We went to Applebee’s in Auburn for supper. I enjoyed the meal (and a delicious dessert). I then promptly got briefly sick after leaving the restaurant. After that I felt much better.
• We went to see my friend , who is back in MA with a new out-of-college job. It was good to catch up with him for a bit.
• We went to a brief Costa Rica team meeting, at which we got our team shirts. We have our final meeting before leaving tomorrow evening.
