Turns out the Damonater had flipped off the power strip switch, again, and I don't even get a "you will run out of power in 20 seconds" message. My battery for this laptop is about as effective as a... let me see, how to say it best... as a jar of olives when you're craving chocolate chip cookies. Some things just can't be done.

Now that we are rebooted, again, let's get to it. I've found that less is more, so we'll cover about a third of the poster board today. Then I can pretend to catch up on my Bible study.
