Some day when it hurts less, I’ll tell you the story of my thesis, and why, after turning it in and successfully defending it, I don’t have my master’s degree.

You just made me check my Cobian Backup log and, yes, my 8pm backup went through successfully :-)
Especially important now that I have a new baby — my brother-in-law asked me a few years back for every photo I had of his son because he lost all the 1st 2 years of baby photos due to a hard disk crash!
(In case anyone is interested to see my baby’s photos, including a photographic “comic strip” story, and lullaby video, I listed it as my website for this post.)
