Up at 6. Tried to set up the scanner for Watt, but didn't have the right cable to add it to the scsi chain. Into the office early hoping to get some work done and avoid another parking ticket. Ric there ahead of me. I puttered. Updated my operating system. Pulled together some billing reports. In the afternoon I went down to Micro Center to buy Watt a new computer. It was a zoo there. The afternoon was bright and cold. A flock of seagulls circled the lot. We stayed up late together, Watt and the boys and I, watching random tv, teasing in the new year.
