It rained pretty much all day.

After work I installed a new printer/fax/copier/scanner ($150), as our older one pretty much was affected by the move, and officially passed on to printer heaven on Sunday. So, now there are 2 things that were affected by the move, the other being Karen's print of New Milford, CT, which had a cracked glass frame now being replaced at the same frame place that is doing the Bridges of Portland framing. Only 2 things of note, though, damaged by the move. Chuck, Carl, and I did a great job packing; all those years of Tetris really did help in fitting rectangular boxes together and such.

Elliott is beginning to trend in mass to the area of 220-225 grams. That is about 90% of what his average mass should be for his species. He is doing so well, and is back to being challenging and assertive with both Karen and I; he is such a hit at the UW Vet Hospital; coinciding with our move here, the UW Vet School is conducting a study on his disorder, so he gets free healthcare, and mixes with the young lady Vets; the guy has only been here a handful of months and he is attracting the eyes of all the young ladies more than I ever did - it figures.

I watched some of the President's news conference tonight. I don't know if I would like being at such an event, what with all those bright lights and cramped spaces. It must get real hot in there, and probably very smelly when all those press people and their coiffed hairdos, special little facial hair patterns, and freshly dry-cleaned apparel become mixed with their sweat; maybe with the extinction of newsreporters there will be less of their bodies in that room, perhaps someday the President will attend a conference room with just iPhones in the seats.
