Dinner in the Berkeley hills

Dinner was quite nice, lovely wine. I told them about my dream apartment, and they did what I should have expected they'd do, which is apply their considerable expertise to an analysis of the proposed purchase. I wasn't prepared for the examination (I ought to have been; I have met them before, after all), and I didn't do a very good job with some of their questions. Like, why I want to move, and why I want to move there. The location seems self-evidently desirable to me, so I didn't have a good counter for their low opinion of the neighborhood, that sort of thing.

It was nice evening. I just wish I'd prepped more.

Still playing with computer security

I really hate this stuff.

I mean, I had a nice enough day, totally unbusy at work, talked to T&S and we're having dinner tomorrow (we're meeting at North Berkeley around 6; just call if you can come), I went by Green Apple then stopped for Thai on the way home. I'd be in a good mood, if it weren't for my computer's insecurities raising my blood pressure...
