What I hope to do today

Instead of a “what I did today” entry, this is a “what I hope to do today” entry.

Upgrading Eudora (My email program) this morning to the latest version. I’ve been using Eudora for about five years now. It’s very good software and I’ve always liked it. That just about every virus ever conceived the last few years is written to attack Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express is the best reason I have for avoiding those products although I pretty much have to use them at work. Update: Done and WOW!

Going to work on Mom’s computer this morning. I’ll be adding and removing programs and just trying to tweak it a little to make it work better. Her computer is newer than mine but I was really disappointed in its performance last week when I was there. I didn’t have time to fix everything. Don’t know if I’ll fix everything today but I certainly hope to fix some things. Update: Got a good bit of it done. Should be able to finish next weekend. It's running quite a bit better from my point of view.

Going to the French Quarter this afternoon. Going to grab a modest ($12 or less) lunch and just do the tourist thing. I’ll hit some shops, maybe find some live music somewhere, and take some pictures, too. The weather yesterday was fabulous. Hoping for more of the same today. Update: Modest budget notwithstanding, I ended up at Landry's Seafood House on Decatur St. I wasn't really in the mood for seafood so I got a suprisingly great Blackened Chicken Salad. Didn't know it was a chain. Landry is a fairly common local name.

And, finally, if I’m up to it, I may attend a birthday party this afternoon for my niece.

On a sadder note: How could anyone not like Captain Kangaroo? RIP, Captain!
