Sleeping is good if you really need the rest, but pain killers can make you drowsy even if you don't need the sleep. I probably will give in
eventually and use them if the arthritis gets really bad but in the mean time I need to be alert. I'm back in the thick of it at uni and I mostly
don't even drink during the week. One or two beers is enough to significantly reduce one's concentration.

Don't know... I'll bring my camera just in case!
(This is the kind of exhibition that happens once or twice in a lifetime and that is worth a long journey - tickets are a hefty 22 euros but a lot of
these paintings are normally in the States, or in Spain or Italy... if you're interested please don't hesitate to go there. The tickets sell like hot
cakes!)

I'm snowed under back at uni. It's the usual madness of balancing assignment deadlines and staying on top of the content. I was up past 1:30AM over
night and up early again this morning. On top of that I'm dealing with a combination of hay fever and common cold and my nose has been running like
hell since yesterday morning.
Sounds worse than it is though, the nose is really bugging me, but I'm quite fit now and staying pretty much on top of things. I am kind of enjoying
all four of my courses.

The day before I wrote that message, when the illness started, I
rode my bicycle to uni and back 3 times and had several handkerchiefs with me to survive the lectures. It's 4k away, so that's 24k total and I ride as
fast as I can go. That night I'd taken antihistamines and so the following day my nose ended up settling down but my throat was on fire. After writing
that message I rode to uni and back twice. That was Friday and by Saturday morning it was already starting to clear up. I've just spent the weekend
clearing out my upper respiratory tract - you don't want to know the details.
It's now Monday morning and I'm feeling pretty good. Hopefully I can now just focus on my studies. Although, it's the time of year when weeds start to
go mad, so at some point very soon I've got to get out into the garden with weed spray and a hoe.

Originally I
discovered you could fit all the original parts of that on one CD, so I didn't have to put up with the movie excerpts. But I had to micro edit a
little bit of noise from the start of King Kong I. Then the Universal version came out without that little bit of noise.

A few days ago I spent hours programming a silly march into NoteWorthy Composer. Now I only have the demo of NWC, which doesn't allow you to save or
export. Since the sonic version was all I needed, and NWC worked best because I still have all the shortcuts memorized, I decided to program this
sheet music for my father in NoteWorthy Composer, then record it with my screen recorder to keep the audio, and then make our merry ways with it.
Just found out I recorded without the sound.
Rookie mistake that cost hours. So this is what it must've felt like that time Dad put a freshly programmed cassette on the TV.

The Brussels thing was frightening, but my wife and I undeterred, we still want to move to Europe.
Isn't it exciting that the save the vault thing has gone past $500,000?
I've had two migraines since I last posted, which is unusual for me. Not sure what's going on. I free pretty good in general though.

I don't understand what's going on with the vault... why does it need saving? Inheritance cost?

I'm not sure what you mean by why does the vault needs saving. There are four inheriting children so they will obviously want the house sold and the
proceeds divided and I imagine they would want this sooner rather than later. Where will the contents of the vault go then? Having it all digitised
solves that problem, because then it just goes on a hard drive. Either that or eventually it all ends up on a dump. It would be sad for it not to be
saved, but very expensive to do so. Rock and a hard place.

I have a hard time imagining Dweezil would let it go that far with the vault - and I assumed one of them would take over the house... guess not.
Sad...
Am checking out what else to do in Den Bosch on my birthday. Maybe a boat trip on the Binnendieze.

Just imagine you're one of four siblings inheriting a house worth four million dollars. Your share is one million dollars. Do you want to forego one
million dollars while one of your siblings lives in the house? I know I wouldn't.
I'm not sure what you mean about "go that far with the vault".
So you're going to Den Bosch on your birthday. Is it far from where you live? Is the name just a coincidence given that you were talking about the
Jeroen Bosch exhibition above?
