Benicia And Beyond
Well, my mini-vacation with Ninja Jim ended Sunday afternoon. It was nice to get away and forget your problems for two days, though the problems are right back on your doorstep when you come back.

About a week ago, I had agonizing dental work in which they drilled down one of my molars and replaced it with a temporary crown (the permanent crown is coming in about two weeks). I have no doubt that this dental work brought on my fever two days later. In addition to that, the crown brings me around-the-clock pain and has slightly chipped in two places. It got so bad that while Jim and I were in Dublin, we had to venture to a drugstore and buy some Orajel (that stuff hurt like hell and didn’t really do well—if it hadn’t been for my exhaustion, I probably wouldn’t have been able to fall asleep in the hotel room).
Right now, I really want a job. I wish I had signed up for more classes. I really want to be productive, and I just feel incredibly bored. I’m sure there’s things to do and people to see, I just don’t know what there is to do or where to look. I’ll call Tyler in the morning and follow up on the Wine Menu project. Jim wants me to visit him at the studio, so I might do that too.
In my past life, I was a tree or something. If not a tree, something that grew old and didn't move very much. I'm pretty convinced of this.

I’m glad you called today. I didn’t get it until tonight so I will call you tomorrow with updates on the project. Dad was sufferring similar computer ails as you, and Cristi furnished him a brand new system from her unused inventory. Apparently there are worms that disable can native virus protection software. Go figure. Many of the documents on his old system were corrupt, so we had to be very judicious about which ones got transferred over. Some files pertaining to WMTV couldn’t make it and I’m working furiously to recreate them from scratch. We should be back up to speed in a few days through. Would like to meet soon, next week if you’re available. There’s other stuff I want to talk to you about too, but I’ll save that for the tele. Cheers! -Ty
