18 days to go until the end of my community custody, three years it’s been.  Won’t miss going to the office and sitting an hour waiting for the officer.

Tonight, my oldest son Carl, who kept Eskimo going in my absence, will be coming over and we’ll be watching some movies we rented at Scarecrow.  Among them is The Grand Budapest Hotel, which my wife and I have seen but my son hasn’t.  It’s a good enough film to see twice.  The Wiki describes it as a comedy film, and certainly there is a lot of comedy in it, but it is more than that, it is a story film, well written and illustrated.  It is one of those films with a lot of detail which makes it worth watching several times.

This head scuz, 2-1/2 months into it, is still not entirely gone although it’s now down to an intermittent runny nose which is a lot easier to deal with than sinus and bronchial congestion.  At least I can sleep and mostly breath now.

It seems like computers are not being nice to me recently, the failure with the kernel upgrades, a problem with VNC on shellx, and now a problem with KDE Desktop on Mint and Ubuntu.  Solutions to all of these problems elude me thus far.
