Accomplishments: several job applications submitted. Spent some time tinkering on the ivory (playing chords for "What Sara Said"). Followed up with Caltrans and confirmed that they had received the claim but it's still in review. Also appears there's some movement in MetLife but that's happened before without any substantial changes.
Gratitudes: I am enjoying the keyboard as is Tommy. That's a good thing. It'll take years to get decent but therein lies my optimism.
