I spent most of my work time exploring VBA class types. All I’ve found on the web is examples that look like they don’t do anything. It’s a lot like the beginning of my Thinking in Java book.

Yesterday my wife and I spent our mutual birthday with the Muppets, my family, and bar patrons. I could have had a better time at all three.

The Muppets movie had really stupid original songs and had a sad understory of past youth. We saw it at the new Sundance theatre downtown. I paid $9 to see a PG movie on my 52nd birthday. I remember paying the same amount in my 20s to see a porn double feature.

The family visit did not get off to a good start. I had forgotten which freeway to get to my brother’s house.
We saw all the improvements he had made and caught up on stuff since my nephew’s wedding. Mainly that I was walking again.

It was all pretty good until my nieces, nephews, and kids started coming in. I didn’t know the kid’s names and barely recognized my nieces and nephews.

Instead of being happy I’m walking again they quizzed me about not being computer certified and jobless. The food was great. They started dinner an hour late so we missed the main trivia game of the night.

We got to the bar where we met and nobody we knew was there. Their internet was flaky so I couldn’t use my iPad. I had to go through 3 game boxes before I found 2 that were good. Nobody we knew came in by 10 so we went home.

I did not find the day satisfying.
