Taking care of errands

That white stuff is glueThat pretty well sums up what I’ve been doing the last few weeks – keeping the trains running on time, running errands, getting into a nice routine.  That routine has not included blogging, and for that, I apologize, but the rest of my life thanks you for your patience.

My entire life now revolves around RememberTheMilk.com, a web-based task list that manages all of the things I gotta track.  I’m wearing a lot of hats at work these days, and I can’t remember how I lived without it.

Well, that’s not entirely true – this month I remembered exactly how I lived without it.  I forgot my own mother’s birthday until three days afterwards, at which point I placed a call and got her voicemail.  Doh. Yeah, that’s what it’s like to live without a completely organized to-do system.  I promptly entered the family birthdays to avoid future bouts of stupidity.

This weekend, I’ve gotten so far ahead that I finally got around to doing something I’d had on the back burner for two years: repairing the speakers Gene gave me.  He’d replaced his Chapman T-7′s (see review) with a new set of Vandersteens, and he was so kind as to give me his old ones.  The foam surrounds had crumbled over time, so I put in a replacement set.  We’ll see how they sound after the adhesive sets, although I’m still not sure where I’m going to put them.  They’re huge.
