For those of you who have been keeping up with the exciting adventure which is my life, I finally made the finishing touches on Feature 123879 and checked the code in. In the words of (I believe) Doctor Peter Venkman, "It'll be bigger than a microchip." Hopefully it won't break the build.

By looking at my old credit card statements and pay stubs I came up with a budget. I was only about $250 over budget for September. I think that is pretty good considering I applied the budget retroactively on a month where I was still on my vauge... "try not to spend too much money" budget. I should be worth nothing in no time. What a thing to aspire to.

Oh yeah.... Last Friday I got a letter from the DA in Orange county. Apparently they caught the crook who cashed $1000 in fraudulent checks on my account. I called the DAs office today, but the attorney handling the case was in court. At this point it doesn't matter too much to me. The bank's insurance covered my loss and I didn't have any other out of pocket expenses, so I can't really ask for restitution, though I am sure the Bank will. Still, that a-hole caused me a lot of grief and I hope they punish him appropriately.

I arrived in Concord at about 8:30pm. Only half an hour late, and had I not been delayed at departure, I would have probably been on time. I circled around a couple of times while Sherry tried to describe where her apartment was over my cell phone, but eventually I found the place and parked in a slot marked "Visitor." I was on my way up to Maine and had asked Sherry if I could crash at her place on the way up so as to break up the long drive. That was what I had said anyway; my main reason was to see Sherry a friend of mine who had recently quit The Company to go to back to school to study patent law.

She showed me around her new apartment, which is entirely too cute, if a little noisy from the nearby street. She showed me her schedule for each week which was blocked out every weekday from 8:00am to 10:00pm, and then told me, without a hint of irony that she hadn't really gotten serious about school yet. I showed her my portfolio from my Color1 class, and we talked about numerous things, including what would happen to "The Group" now that Joanna had left the Hudson Valley for Berkeley. She told me how much her apartment was costing me, which was low compared with the Hudson Valley, but high for a student, which is pertinent, since she is a student now. I told her how excited I was for her in her new endeavor. I would have liked to have told her how proud all of us were of her, but the thought didn't come into my head until later. I slept on the floor that night and the traffic outside didn't bother me too much.
