Midday funeral
I just bid my Palm Pilot farewell in a small, personal ceremony that consisted of my dropping it gently into the garbage can in my lab. It was actually a Handspring Visor. I dropped it on the floor and the screen shattered. I was pretty bummed until I saw that I could get a new one with a color screen for $120 at Amazon. And that other people were selling theirs for $8. I guess it's time to move on.
In other news, I just found out that my sister Emily got a super awesome summer job at an environmental conservation camp in Warren County, NY. I'm not sure what she's doing, but she hasn't officially begun yet, so I guess I'll hear more after she does.
And I talked to Megan!! Also, my data is coming out really well and I'll have my week's goals accomplished probably within an hour. What a day!

Why get a new one, when that Newton is still around the lab (I think)

Ah, I think Francisco may have taken ownership of it. He also took the two extremely old VCRs that have been in the lab forever.

The same thing happened to my palm, but it was an expensive clie my dad bought me so I'm mourning deeply because I can't afford to replace it with the same thing right now. Actually, I'm not sure I dropped it . . . I may have stepped on it when I got down off of the bunk bed in the call room one night after being in the ICU overnight. =-)
Congrats on getting your week's goals accomplished ! Have fun with Robbie and Jess, but don't let them near your toilet. =-)
Love,
Lizzie

You know what else you can buy for $120? Your car's freedom from a towing lot in Falls Church, VA. Or maybe that's only the price when you weren't illegally parked and they were just towing for their own amusement.
If I were you, I'd get the Palm Pilot instead.

Ah, the curse of the Me(a)gan name... persecution by the parking Nazis. Bastards.
