[TECH SUPPORT] I spent several hours yesterday getting my new Netgear router working with my Westell DSL modem from Verizon. It seems both devices have the same self-assigned IP range. (With 256 x 256 x 256 x 256 to choose from, that doesn't seem very clever, does it?) But the Netgear people were very nice and gave me free tech support. It was as simple as changing the self-assigned IP from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.10.1 in the router's basic settings (https://www.routerlogin.net/basicsetting.htm). And now we have wireless in my parents' classic six. Whee!

Mostly, as this is New York, we have been Walking and Eating. Oh, and Buying. I'm not sure where else the day goes. (All right, I also skimmed someone's dissertation on fashion models as research.) But the weather was gorgeous.

Today we're going to the American Museum of Natural History's Darwin exhibit. When they planned it, it wasn't controversial at all...

FYI, Alex...

I appreciate the little subject-in-bracket tags you're throwing up at the beginning of your non-screenwriting posts. Thanks!

Yeah, Alex. I spent the day with you and still have no idea what you're talking about in the first paragraph. Is that what all the grumbling was about?

Hope you saw Robert Redford's Cosmic Collisions at the planetarium while you were there.
