Back to the grind of the stepper at level 6. My Plan is to make it there the whole week. Then next friday make a decision about level 7.

forgot to go down stairs and way in for the contest. I can do it again on Thursday so that should be ok.

Got my taxes done this weekend. Which is nice. didn't see much of the superbowl though. I used QEMU to run a VM running XP so I could use turbo tax. This system usually works really well. With the exception of any thing that is disk I/O intensive. Like installing software and such. Once I finished the returns Turbo Tax asked if I was ready to print. I thought to myself; "Now would be an excellent time to save." So I did. Well sometimes disk I/O in a VM is bad. The VM crashed and my return was corrupted. Turbo Taxes lovely help file's suggestion for my situation: "Restart Turbo Tax and Choose Begin a New Return." sigh. Taxes are easier to do the second time through though. Now to spend the return before it gets here and stimulate the economy!
