Thank you for the reference to the bash shell for Windows.
I'll keep it on file. sooner or later I'll need it.
Today was a mild, sunny, very pleasant day. When I took my walk
around the house, I was reminded of the awkwardness with which
Mommy negotiated this small circuit only two years ago. I think
I may be slowing down more rapidly than did she; but at this
juncture the best I can say is that I'm functioning. Better not
to try to look into the future. It's not possible. Physically,
I seem to be at a comfortable equilibrium, dem Alter entsprechend.
Mentally, as wild as ever. In this context you shouldn't forget
that although it's very unlikely that the Appeals Court will dispense
justice, and we must prepare ourselves for the worst, formally the
"law's delay" works to our advantage, since I've petitioned the Court
to award damages until the date of judgment in an amount that is
a function of the delay, i.e. the rent forgone because of inability
to complete the house. It's important to keep once legal position
clearly in mind throughout the vicissitudes of litigation.

I spent the day writing. Although I'm not thrilled with the result,
I find the effort useful as sedative and relaxant.

Jeane telephoned me from her home this afternoon. She is back from
the hospital, metropolol has been replaced by lisinopril. Her pulse
rate is still about 40/min; I infer, but don't know that the cause
is sinus tachycardia. She is to return in two weeks to determine 
whether a pacemaker should be implanted.

In case I don't answer the phone, I need to go grocery shopping,
either tomorrow or Tuesday.
