Goodness: had a bright idea at work, really excited about what it might imply. I'm building a prototype spreadsheet to see if it really works. If it does, I think I just met my 2005 goals.

Further goodness: Noodling with the old letters. I collect letters from the pre-stamp era. Since there's no stamps, it's quite a puzzle to figure out what the rates were, which is what seriously obsessed people like me want to know.

Badness: our oldest cat (age 20) isn't doing so well. Might be kidney failure.
