We're making Vietnamese beef pho 
tonight. My wife is a great cook. I am 
just the sous chef. I was tasked with 
julien-ing(?) green onions. It was 
oddly satisfying work. She was 
chopping cilantro. Oddly, I *really* 
like the smell of cilanto but I'm not 
all that keen on the taste.

Earlier in the day, I worked on a 
couple of projects. One is a 
web-to-gopher scraper for a newspaper. 
It's not on any gophermaps and never 
will be, since it's proprietary 
content. I created it for my own use 
on the Bold 9900. It works very well, 
and if you'd like a copy of the 
script, just email me. I wonder how 
many other people have unmapped gopher 
content?

The other project is my ongoing 
bathroom renovation. I don't have much 
left to do in the grand scheme of 
things. The wiring is done and 
inspected, the drywall is up and 
painted, and now all the cementboard 
is in and ready to be waterproofed and 
tiled. I had to leave it for the 
winter (due to work commitments) and 
it's really exciting to think that it 
will soon be done.

Have you ever written something really 
long that you subsequently 
reconsidered? I did that today. I 
might publish it. Or I might just post 
it at the circumlunar.space bulletin 
board. Or I might trash it. I hate 
being uncertain about something I've 
spent a lot of time working on.

I hope you're all enjoying the 
weekend.

Despite the preceding comments, I 
don't think I have been this content 
in ages. Life is certainly good for me 
these days.
