Thanks to @snorklewacker (Jos) we managed this afternoon to raise the TV shelf in our family room to give more room for a new A/V receiver.
In addition, while looking up dimensions of new A/V receiver, we found an open box one at newegg.com & saved almost 40% on it.
Upgrading my desktop Kubuntu box to KDE 4.2.
First lumber store (Stock Building Sypply) hours apparently are 7am-4pm. WTF? Fail. May have to resort to Home Depot.

Thanks @dr_scholl , @mattfrye , & @NBC17EP. That’s very sad. :-( One of these days we’ll cure cancer & that day can’t come soon enough.
Flight 1549 captain quoted as saying, “we were simply doing the job we were trained to do.” <— That is true heroism.

Sleepy. Going to bed.
Cleaned up 1/3 of my office floor. Moved bookcases around and rerouted cables. Relaxing now with J. Rehearsal & B’s violin lessons tomorrow.
Had lunch with J at Greek Fiesta at Davis & High House. It had free wifi, but I decided to have lunch with my wife instead of use it. :-)
