Forgot to mention that this is the second Contraption; we spent an hour at Fry’s exchanging the old one. Then we went out to dinner at Daphne’s Café, a Greek chain. Decent food, though not terribly authentically Greek.

Sadly, I had to back out of going to Spinners tonight. Ken took the afternoon off from work so we could try and catch up on some stuff, and finding a decent place to get the car repaired took up all of his time. There’s no way we could be on the road in an hour (with rush hour traffic, it’s an hour and a half to get to Roby’s). Drat drat drat. But, I don’t have a story to turn in for next month’s meeting, so I’ve suggested that they hold this month’s story until then. And there’s another story being critiqued tonight, which often isn’t the case.
