I cleaned up my desk from the Vex Robotics parts and placed them in two part organizer trays that I bought for this purpose. I also labeled every compartment in the part organizers.
The we went to Shirley's recital which was held in the Summit Unitarian Church. 16 of Ms. Baldacchini's students played the violin and viola. They performed by the order of their respective experience. The first player was a beginner. The last four players were graduating high school seniors. One of the graduating seniors is going to a music school. The pianist was an accomplished former Juliard graduate. Shirley played well. We had pizza and dessert after the recital. Shirley liked the cream cake squares from Natale's. She wanted to have them on her birthday.
I was impressed by the Unitarian Church motto: "many roots, one community". They did not have a cross in the church. Their web site says: "The Unitarian Church in Summit welcomes people regardless of their race, ethnic background, political persuasion, economic circumstances or sexual orientation". They accept people of all religious beliefs. I think that it is the epitome of tolerance.
After we came home I investigated which netbook computer to buy for Dan. Consumer reports recommended the Samsung NC10. There are two newer models: N110, which has the same dimensions and processor as NC10, but it has a longer battery life, larger track pad, and a glossy screen. The N120 has a slightly larger keyboard than the NC10, but slightly shorter battery life. I found a good deal on the N110 at J&R Music.
In the evening I fixed one kitchen drawer. One of the sliders broke from the drawer frame because it was attached with screws that were too short. The screws broke off with the surrounding wood. I replaced the short screws with much longer ones. This problem was completely unexpected for a custom-made kitchen that is less than 10 months old. One the positive side, the drawers are made from dovetailed solid wood (not particle board or plywood).
