On the one hand, my copy of Panther is here. Here’s what a geek I am: I stopped eating lunch so I could go start installing it on the Cube. After lunch, it’ll be time to slap it on my main machine. Arlene’s iMac will be Panther-free for a short while.
On the other hand, Maria the FedEx lady is going in for rotator cuff surgery on Monday, so we won’t see her again until after the new year. That’s a shame. At a company that is just bursting with friendly, helpful people, she’s really distinguished herself. The kids love to see her, and she reciprocates. I hope she gets well soon.
