6.9 Let me explain...

No it will take too long - let me sum up.

My thesis was acceptable - I got an A in the class.
I graduated. Final GPA 3.916.
The job search continues.
I had my birthday.
I cleaned house (relatively). Let's say I got rid of some of the worst of the piles. We could find the guest bed.
Relatives arrived.
S had a recital. It went very well.
S had a soccer game. It went well. (2-0 their favor).
K had a recital. It went very well.
Some of the relatives left.
The computer crashed (blue screen of death).
The computer was revived but has been somewhat out of commission as all the connections had been removed. We're slowly getting everything, like camera connections, put back.
S had another soccer game. This one didn't go so well. We could be charitable and say the other team is simply very physical in their play. Their sidelines weren't swearing at our players this year - that was a step in the right direction. No one was ejected this year. Progress indeed. (0-1 not in their favor).

Pictures may follow if I can get the camera to talk to the computer again.
