It was a sunny, warmish day and I never even had to make a fire (which is unusual at this time of year). I keep hearing great flocks of Canada Geese high overhead, and when I see the direction of their caret-shaped formations, they're inevitably pointing north. That may all be normal for the last day of February. On the ground, though, all the avian evidence still suggests winter. Ther birds are mostly slate-colored juncos, with the occasional cardinal or chickadee. Sometimes there are crows, ravens, or bluejays in the trees. I haven't seen a vulture in months.

Gretchen took Neville to her Wednesday bookstore shift, but because she would be dining (and perhaps seeing a movie) with Susan (there would be a couple small slices of take-home gourmet pizza from that fancy pizza place next to the theatre), I had to pick up Neville this afternoon. I only had one hour window to do so between meetings, and it usually takes more than 20 minutes just to drive to Woodstock, leaving me little room to do anything else on that errand. Nevertheless, I managed to drop off an eBay return at the West Hurley post office, pump most of a tank of gasoline into the Subaru, and even swing by the Tibetan Center thrift store (gripped at that moment by a traffic jam caused by a huge trailer either picking things up or dropping them off). I found nothing there that I wanted.

I had a mid-grade hangover all day from last night's excess, though this didn't affect my productivity. In only about an hour (I was keeping track of time), I managed to build a schema browser that listed all the databases (and tables for those databases) on a server. The tables could be uncollapsed, revealing the names of columns. [REDACTED]
