The Design and Implementation of laffer1

I went shopping yesterday. I found some new clothes at JC Penny. I also got a copy of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on DVD. Caryn's been using the Kindle a lot. I don't know when we'll be watching HP.

I bought some new hard drives for stargazer today. It's now got two IDE Seagate drives acting in RAID1 for /home. It seems much faster now. I did some tweaks on the OS too. Very nice.

I got an A- in Technical Writing. I'm very happy with that grade. I've registered for four classes. I'm still toying with taking that other class Steve mentioned. I could fit it in, but I can't register for it without some hoops which I can't do until EMU is open again. I'll think about that some more.

Christmas Eve was something else. We went to my mom's this year at 1PM. Things went well for awhile. Caryn got ill and started turning green. She wasn't feeling well most of the night. I ended up using Dance, Dance Revolution with my mother which I bought her for Christmas for her new PS2. (she bought that herself) I did not see my father at all this year. That's a long story in itself. I may share another time. We went to my aunts next. Caryn got sick to her stomach and so we left after about two hours. I wasn't feeling smashing myself. We started home on US23 and found ourselves in a terrible traffic jam. Traffic was completely stopped for 20 minutes. A series of cars slid off the road. I got off at the first Ann Arbor exit I could once we got past the 14 and 23 section where the accident took place. I don't know that part of town well and got lost for awhile. All the time caryn was puking in a bag. That had to be the most unpleasant drive I've had ini some time. However, it was still an OK christmas because my father wasn't around to bring everyone down. It's hard to explain.
