Stark Industries must be setting up something in Northampton

Why else would a local wireless network in Florence be named JARVIS?

Updates....

- Gave double unit of platelets today, acquired a movie ticket and a $10 iTunes gift card as a thank you from the blood bank. This is the first time in about five attempts that I've actually managed to give a double unit. Nice feeling.

- Used iTunes gift card to acquire a few favorite songs, plus several Glenn Miller tunes. I'd always been vaguely aware of his music, but now that I've heard a little? *Man*, but that's nice. Think I'm about to embark on a big band kick!

- In a fit of insanity, I've decided to try the Couch to 5K running program. This is a very gradual, very gentle way of building up running strength to go from nothing to being able to run a 5K in about 2-3 months. I'm just starting out but I can already feel a difference in energy levels. No way my knees will let me run the Boston Marathon, but if this keeps my heart healthy, it's all good.

- Nasty allergic reaction/acne breakout to cleansing products that used to be fine. Very disappointing.

- Gil is now sleeping on my pillow, looking very sweet. He's such a lovely, gentle, mellow cat.

- Life goes on....
