If I had a zillion gazillion dollars....

... I'd have a skating rink in my house! A really pretty one in the Maxfield Parrish/Hearst Castle style (to match the indoor/outdoor swimming pool). And a Roomboni to make the ice, of course.

I had such fun at skating class today. I'm finally making some progress in learning how to do crossovers. I still can't cross over more than a couple of inches, but I'm getting the balance. For me, the best practice technique seems to be skating around and around the circle, alternating between pumps and one-footed glides.

New Palm Pilot

Well, Tungsten E2. I guess they don't call them Palm Pilots anymore, but I'm not sure why.
So far, switching to the new one has gone exceptionally smoothly. Other than reentering one registration number, all I had to do was set the date and time on the new device and run Hotsync. Wow. Last time was way harder, but that time I was upgrading to a newer and better device.

Now for the hardest, scariest, most life-changing moment. It's time to apply the clear plastic screen protector.

Hmmm

Well, either this little machine doesn't work too well, or I have white coat hypertension. Or maybe my blood pressure really is 25 point lower in the evening than it is in the morning. I'll try it again tomorrow.
