I’m writing for tomorrow and feeling a bit better, but I’m still very tired.  It’s 18° outside (mid-morning), and I’m glad to be where I am.  I talked to a friend at the old building, and I understand the heat has failed there yet again.  We are under a high wind watch and a winter storm warning, so as you can see below, I have big plans for today!!<\/font><\/p>\n

Today’s took me 4:13 (average 5:10).  To do it click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

From The New Yorker<\/a>: <\/font>Bill Gates’s [sic<\/em>] first day at work in the newly created role of technology adviser got off to a rocky start yesterday as the Microsoft founder struggled for hours to install the Windows 8.1 upgrade.<\/p>\n

The installation hit a snag early on, sources said, when Mr. Gates repeatedly received an error message informing him that his PC ran into a problem that it could not handle and needed to restart.<\/p>\n

After failing to install the upgrade by lunchtime, Mr. Gates summoned the new Microsoft C.E.O. Satya Nadella, who attempted to help him with the installation, but with no success.<\/p>\n

That sounds like a routine Microslime installation to me!!<\/font><\/p>\n
