Another incredibly gorgeous day. I couldn't wait to get home, but there was too much to do. Work was frustrating. I couldn't get QuickBooks to print a report the way Meredith wanted it. Finally, Maureen came through with a way to modify it to reflect the Source Name instead of the name. I even wen to the QB website and posted a question on their forum and had someone trying to help me (she came up with the same suggestion minutes after Maureen did).

At lunch time, Ray and I went to vote early. There was a wait, a good sign if you ask me. Then we went across the street to the restaurant where Basil Press used to be. It is now a little grungy, Red's Tavern. With 7 TV's. But we figured we'd give it a try. It was mediocre. The sweet tea was pretty good. A thin young woman came in wearing tiny white shorts and boots with fringe...I had to smile, but I'm sure she was not paying attention to me, but the 3 or 4 young men around her.

I talked to Meredith a little in the afternoon. She is still very nervous about our cash flow and the lack of strong board leadership to come up with a strategy for the next few years. But she authorized me to pay all the pending bills. So I did that. Left about 3:30 and met Ray at the Ramsey Center. I had lots of energy and beat him the first game. We left about 5 and it was still pretty nice at home. Let the dogs out and fed them. Let the chickens out, watered the garden some. Then fed them and shut them up for the night.

Dinner was pretty much as disaster. I was trying to used dried beans, but they were still pretty hard. Also cut up some jalapenos and still feel it on my hands and my lips. I had a tortilla with some tomatoes lettuce and cheese. And lots of eggplant dip and crackers.

Went to Nancy H's house to meet with her and Suzy about the reception for Jim's memorial service next weekend, when I will be in Washington. I feel bad. Nancy H. said Nancy S. asked for people to invite her over for dinner, rather than bringing her food.

Got home about 9:30. Had a brownie with ice cream and fell asleep watching TV. Ray stayed up, untangling my yarn for me. I heard Captain and Vanessa come home at some point, from my bed. They seem to be fine.
