Good morning! Looks like a beautiful day ahead, judging by the sunrise. I'll be heading down to Boxborough, debugging what's known as ETC2. Michelle has a pretty free day ahead, aside from taking Claire to the eye doctor for her annual visit. Claire is eligible for new frames this year.
It was a nice commute in. Not a cloud in the sky and temps around 65°F. Sunroof weather! I offered a Sorrowful Rosary for my wife and mom and an extra decade for vocations. The extra is this month's prayer intention for folks working with Opus Dei. Listened to more Bros K the rest of the way.

Too. Many. Jokes. "Prototype fuel system runs on urine..."

Had some good successes at work this week. Smooth drive home. Caught up with mom and then listened to more Dostoyevsky the rest of the way. I forgot to mention that Claire got some trial contact lenses today. She was also happy that her prescription hadn't changed this past year. Her eyes are stabilizing.
Looking into a few sci-fi movie classics for the weeks ahead: Metropolis, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet, Blade Runner, Brazil, Primer, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind...
