Daily Work: It’s Murder! Plus Calendar Work and DIY Repairs

This morning there was no evidence of the crime scene from yesterday. In truth, the yard looked very plain and empty with the tarps and tents and cars and flashing lights all gone. Looked like any other house.

I don’t ever watch the news on TV, unless you count The Daily Show or The Colbert Report; so I didn’t know anything more. I found out that the situation was the lead story on local news:

First Murder of the Year in Champaign Champaign police say 66-year-old Emmanuel Boyd was murdered. Police were called to his home on the 1200 block of Clock St. yesterday morning to check on him. Boyd`s neighbors said they hadn`t seen him in several days. A preliminary autopsy showed Boyd died from traumatic injuries. If you have any information on the crime call Champaign police. from http://www.wcia.com/news/default.asp?mode=shownews&id=4034

And I was there for all that yesterday.

In much less exciting news, I worked on the ReadWriteThink calendar. We have 9 new Phase 3 entries to work on, and it’s time to begin work on the revisions for May. We reviewed two lessons that have been submitted. Both looked great. Also installed the security patches on the server.

And after all that fun, I went to Home Depot and got a new pink toilet seat because the hinge on mine completely broke this morning. Picked up some little shelves for by the new microwave and a couple of other things. Still errands to run tomorrow; but I have taken the day off just to deal with such things. Now I just have to manage to get up and get dressed. There is a great chance that I will be in my nightclothes till Tuesday morning when I have to go back to work.
