Today was a definite improvement over yesterday.

I have deleted GoogleTalk from my desktop, leaving Hangouts in sole possession of the field. While I don't necessarily think this is an improvement, at least I only get one message every time Steve sends a chat.

Also, when I went into town to gym this morning, I looked at my phone, and?

Chrome was installed, and it was working properly!

Fist pump!

I have not yet excised the non-updating, cephalopod version of Chrome on my desktop. Perhaps I never shall. That's probably safest.

In other news, I formatted our GOH speech, entered the changes we made last night during our first read-through, and did some writing.

I should probably do some more writing, but I'm beat. Among the adventures of the day being an early -- and noisy -- visit from our lawn-guy, who took away the remains of the cedar tree, and sucked up all the leaves from the front lawn. I believe I shall retire early to my couch and try again tomorrow. This seems the course of reason, if not precisely valor. Tomorrow's work requires All New Words to be written, whereas today's work was editing a chapter that had been excised from Dragon in Exile -- just patting it into the shape of the new book, really.

And that? Is all I got.

G'night.
