BYU campus
Here's a postcard-type view of part of the BYU campus. That greenhouse-looking structure on the left is part of the library. Taken today while we were dropping Loyal Reader Number One off at school.
That's right, LRN1 is now an official college student. We got him into the dorm at 9:00 or 10:00 or so, did a little walking around campus, had lunch together, and then left. He had a bunch of orientation stuff this afternoon and evening. We're hoping he's having a great time. Classes don't start until next Tuesday, so he has plenty of time to get set up and familiar with the place.
Otherwise, very little happened today. I've been working on degunking a couple of our hosts' computers and enjoying that. The laptop's now done - it's working great. I'm working on the desktop now. It's in much better shape to start - it will boot, for example - but there's a bunch of HP-installed garbageware and some things they no longer need, so there's still work to do. The biggest challenge will be to get McAfee off of there. I'm going to replace it with AVG, which has a much smaller footprint.
More visiting coming up the next couple of days, and then we're off for home. Have to go down to Provo again - LRN1's suit got left in the closet, and he'll definitely be needing it. We'll be happy to visit with him one more time before we go.
Today's Morrowlife controversy: Is this guy the lamest criminal ever? My answer: Definitely. Note to self - when taking hostages, find somebody else to do my shopping.
Time to be with the family again. See you tomorrow.

Hello from BYU! I've just come home for the night. It's almost midnight. After the orientation event, I went to another student's dorm to watch short films that he directed. Two were relatively unimpressive. The other two were incredibly well done. They were absolutely professional quality.
It looks like my roommate has checked in. His stuff is all here, but he is not. Neither is his bed made nor is any of his stuff unpacked. (He brought a lot more than I did, it looks like.) I've met quite a few people from my ward. I talked to Stephanie Sant from Virginia. Hopefully I can get together with the Virginia kids tomorrow for dinner. I don't know where they're all living, so we'll have to find out.
It's past midnight, and I need to be up and in front of the Brigham Young statue at 9:15 AM. Good night, and see you all soon!
