That dialogue box yonder haunted me all day yesterday. It popped up at least half a dozen times while I was otherwise happily coding away in Dreamweaver. In a sense, I suppose, it’s the best error message one could ever get, along the same lines as “WARNING: S’all Good,” “DANGER: Is Far Away,” or even “System Report: Everything is fine. Nothing is Ruined.” But still, after a while, the popup got annoying. Did I really have to be updated every ten minutes or so that nothing critical had really taken place? I mean, I was present and awake for the duration. I noticed bad things not happening.

But otherwise (or similarly), life is good in Robbyville. Amanda and I spent Saturday gardening. We aerated the lawn, got grass seed planted in the back yard, cut back the privet along the back of the property (with a chainsaw! (no error occurred)), planted some herbs and vegetables, and planted some flowers beneath the pirate flag. We have a few more things to plant yet, but they required shade, so we decided to wait for the tree in the backyard to generate more of it before we risked our little seedlings.

Sunday, we did nothing, or at least as close as humans can get. We woke up shortly before noon, ordered pizza, downed the ‘za with beer, watched a couple of movies, and took a nap. It was pretty awesome. No error occurred.

Yesterday, I had dinner with Dana in Ames. We hadn’t seen each other in a couple of months, she’s moving back to Colorado in a few weeks, and I’m going to be missing graduation, so we decided we’d better get together for one last goodbye before she headed off. It went really well, for those curious. No error occurred. We ate at Hickory Park, had nummy ice cream for dessert, and talked up a storm for a good hour and a half. It was good to catch up.

And now, it is time to leave you all. It’s time to head home through the thunderstorm outside. Let’s hope my lack-of-errors trend continues.
