Yesterday. Very nice day. The sun broke through after four grey days of rain. I had an office party on Monday where I got pizza, pie, and a nice Apple Store gift card. What to get? I think I’d like this iPod audio recording accessory, but it’s not actually out yet.

Later I had a nice evening at home, even though yet one more has fallen to strep; Anna. Not fallen like died. Been stricken, maybe? Anyway, Helen, despite illness and sick kids, prepared an awesome meal: chicken tortellini alfredo, ceasar salad, nice bread, and creme bruleé for dessert. Well, *first* dessert. Then there was cake.

Kenny spearheaded (and mostly financed) the family buying me *The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)* widescreen DVD. Cool.
