Hello, Billy

[kevin_standlee]

After work this evening, I went up to East Palo Alto's IKEA and bought three more Billy bookcases for Fernley House. Lisa said we need more shelves in the living room, and the Billy cases are relatively inexpensive, sturdy, and otherwise fit for purpose.

Having come part-way north, I swung by the old office in San Mateo to allow my laptop to commune with the company network not via VPN. It appears to be happier if it gets to connect "natively" now and then. But it's going to be a long way home, as I see that road work on southbound US-101 means that I should go home by way of I-280 instead.

I recall Billy Bookcases. By the time we'd assembled 3-4 in my office, 4-5 in the library/gaming room/Tara's Office/Robot Room and 2-3 in the spare bedroom, I was almost able to assemble them in my sleep. I think I quit bothering even glancing at the directions after the second, possibly after the first.

(FWIW, our couch, both coffee tables, one end table, chair, entertainment center, CD/DVD shelves, bed for spare room, both desks, the chair in Tara's office and almost everything in The Kid's room also came from Ikea over the years)
