I wasn’t able to workout today. A power outage hit half the gym just as I arrived. They originally thought it was a blown fuse, but they later had to evacuate due to a fire in a nearby sewer grating.

When I finally ate my big lunch I fell, hard, into a food coma. Waking today, I not only feel well rested, but my muscles are not nearly as stiff as they were.

I got an email this afternoon from Apple Computer announcing that today was the Grand opening for the new Apple Computer Store in the University Village, which is just east of the University of Washington. I told Mary the news and we quickly adjusted our plans to run down to the store to have a peek.

Well, my expectations for the roll of film that I’ve been waiting for couldn’t have been more of a disappointment. I waited for a week and a half for the development and ten more minutes in line today, just to learn that something had gone wrong with the film! The roll was completely blank.
