In all its glory, my October 2009 12 of 12, with pics taken using just my iPhone. It’s good to be back.

9:01 a.m. Good morning, world. Thanks, Christopher Columbus, for discovering America and subsequently providing us with a day off.

9:32 a.m. 43 degrees outside. Not cool, Mother Nature. Not. Cool.

11:54 a.m. In the elevator at school, headed up to my office to get some work done.

4:35 p.m. Grading Friday's Uninflected Interval Quiz. Fun times.

5:37 p.m. While taking a break, I beat a Hard level on GeoDefense Swarm.

5:47 p.m. It's a GD Swarm two-fer! I beat another level just 10 minutes later. It's a good day, indeed!!

6:31 p.m. In the elevator, headed home.

8:34 p.m. Grading part-writing. Yup, that's four-voice writing on notebook paper. This is the kind of crap I have to try to decipher every day. Ugh.

8:52 p.m. Making some delicious chianti braised beef & rigatoni. God bless dinner-in-a-bag.

9:45 p.m. For tonight's entertainment: F.R.I.E.N.D.S Season 4.

11:00 p.m. Some hot chocolate to cap the evening. Delicious!!

11:33 p.m. Getting ready for bed, about to brush our teeth with the Sonicare. Xan's being silly.

BONUS PIC: Oreo with her new toy, Swan Valdez.
