LotStreetWiz is flying to Vancouver. I don’t feel like cooking for just me, so I made bean and tomato salad. It’s a cold salad that takes about five minutes to put together from canned ingredients plus one onion.
My son had suddenly developed an urgent interest in getting his old tax returns in. Something to do with a student computer as a reward….
I’m helping him to find information and also looking for his old résumé so that he can send a more complete one to a job application.
“The kids” came over–first Lizbot, then after she’d left Silentlight and his girlfriend to have supper.
Now all I have to do is pack my swim bag for tomorrow.
Last night I sat and copied images back from the old blog on Blogger and up to the WordPress database. Then when I go to replace them in the WordPress version, they’ll be there.
I got my computer back today, so I’m going through the files and making sure everything is set up properly. The problem seems to have been a bad hard drive, possibly caused by the fact that Dell never fastened the hard drive in!
I’ve imported all the Blogger posts from “Random Thoughts” over to my personal blog on WordPress, “If Not Now, When?”.

There’s still quite a bit of editing to do: the tags come over as categories and all intra-blog links need to be changed to their equivalent WordPress links. The biggest job, though, is re-saving all the images to WordPress, deleting them out of the articles, then re-importing them. However, I’ve started in a small way.
From now on, expect new articles to be here, on “Random Thoughts: If Not Now, When?“
LotStreetWiz woke me up at 7:00 this morning so we could go swiming at a the Settlement House community pool near Grange Parkl He had a precise workout from his coach; I just wanted to practise and get in some distance.
In 25-yard pool:
total, 750 yards (675 m)
Over the same period, LotStreetWiz swam 1700 yards.
Here’s a look around the pool. East wall:

LotStreetWiz very nicely woke me up at 6:00 with coffee and a snack. I drove us to my pool and he waited 7 minutes for a streetcar to take him thence to his pool. They’re supposed to run every 2 to 3 minutes.
Approximate workout in 25-yard (22.5m) pool:
Total, 950 yd. (855 m)
Worked on cardiovascular stamina, arm extension in crawl, circular catch in breast stroke.
I really should take before and after photos. I’m always much impressed by the “after” look. Today is the day to wash floors, de-clutter, re-arrange, and get rid of things I don’t use.
LotStreetWiz very nicely woke me up at 6:00 with coffee and a snack, then dropped me off at the pool.
Approximate workout in 25-yard (22.5m) pool:
Total, 1050 yd. (945 m)
Worked on cardiovascular stamina, smoother stroke in crawl.
The leaves of the chestnut trees are now bigger than my hand. I saw a grey pigeon with two white tufts of feathers over its eyes.
After that I had breakfast, dropped in at Autodesk (formerly Alias|Wavefont), and took the streetcar home to get my computer working. I added a one-mile walk at the end of the streetcar ride.
Then in the evening it’s an hour of Pilates.
