I slept well last night, got up fairly early, and took a good walk around the big loop. I took several pictures and couldn't decide which of these two should be pic of the day, so I'll share them both:

After breakfast, I walked into town to pick up the rest of my monthly prescriptions from the pharmacy. While I was there, I also checked for some other things in the stores, including a mouse for Goldfinger (which they did NOT have). Then I caught a bus back home.

I got to work today on my project for week 4 of "Pro Tools Basics". I decided to record myself singing "Achat Sha'alti". First, I recorded the tune into MIDI (using my little keyboard) and made sure it was all lined up with the beats. Then I recorded myself singing along with it (being careful to turn off the fans and the A/C to avoid unwanted background noise). The next step was to create a bass line to go with it. I had a surprising amount of trouble with this, but eventually I got it all in the way it should be. I think I still need to add more to it, but I haven't decided just what yet.

I watched 2 episodes each of "Friends", "Modern Family", and "The Big Bang Theory" again today.

I had a large salad and weenies wrapped in tortillas for lunch.

I taught only a single 2-unit Berlitz lesson today: 4:30-6:00.

I walked a total of 8.7 kilometers today.
