stoutfellow1. I'm going to another trivia contest tonight. Here's hoping our other team members will be able to make it; our showing last time was dismal.
2. I went over to Shop'n'Save to pick up fixings for tomorrow's dinner (and my contribution to snacks for tonight). When I left the house, the outside thermometer showed a reading of a little over 60F; when I got back, maybe half an hour later, the reading was in the low to mid-fifties. Fall, she has fell....
3. I occasionally pick up a pint of ice cream for a Sunday treat. (Well, OK, it's more than occasionally.) Usually I'll go with Ben & Jerry's, sometimes with Haagen-Dazs; they're in the same compartment at S&S. Today, I noticed a bunch of "Discontinued Item" stickers in that compartment: from B&J, Pistachio Pistachio, Neapolitan Dynamite, Turtle Soup, and Vermonty Python, and from H-D, Dulce de Leche (sob!). The only one of my preferred flavors that isn't being cut is H-D's Bailey's. Grump.
4. I've got all but one of the forms for my library project up and running, and I'm pretty pleased with them. The one yet to do will display all the works with a given keyword; that one won't be hard to put together. Right now I'm going through the data that I entered earlier, before creating the forms; the way I was doing it before was very susceptible to mis-entries, and I've already caught about half a dozen mistakes.
