I am trying to use my time off to catch up on stuff that I have been meaning to do, but have put off.
My friend Deb and I had planned to go visit Dok, a friend at who was in the hospital recovering from knee surgery replacement. My friend Paula mentioned that she was going to be at Papa Joe's with another friend before heading off to belly dance class, so Deb and I arranged to meet there, before heading on to the hospital. It was a very nice dinner.
Dok was glad to see us, and we had a nice time visiting as well. We stayed for a while, and then I dropped Deb home.
Today was geek-tacular: I spent a few hours setting up a web site with Drupal for a friend who is running for office. There is still a fair amount to do, but the basic framework is there.
One of the reasons that I wanted to take a long vacation was to work on scanning in issues of the first run of Erie Gay News to add to the web site. I have pretty much been doing that all day. It is a pretty daunting task, as there are 7 years worth of issues, and I will have to create separate HTML versions of the article when I am all done scanning. However, I am really looking forward to having a more complete history online.
