Unix class is going swimmingly. With the exception of needing to use binary in order to complete the lab work, I'm doing fine. Part of it sounds like Greek to me, but mostly I'm able to keep up and then some. Hopefully my Spanish quiz tomorrow will go so well.

For all those who read here, please join me in wishing my mother a happy 55th birthday. Unfortunately, she won't have any family around her tonight, but she's in the loving care of good friends, and that means a lot, too. I wish I were there to help her celebrate.
