monitor, cornbread, barber

This morning my monitor died. It had been going "fftz, fttz" every once in a while for about a month, and the screen would flicker when it made that sound. Well, this morning it "fftz, fttz"ed a lot and then turned itself off and wouldn't turn on again. Erik investigated a verified that it was dead. Then he hooked up the monitor we found by the side of the road with a "free" sign on it. So that's what I'm using now, and it works, but it's sort of small, and we don't know if the resolution is good enough for SAT scoring.

Last night I made some vegan cornbread but modified the recipe--I halved the maple syrup and compensated with more soymilk, and it came out moderately delicious.

This morning we went for our usual walk and stopped by the craft store then stopped by the barber so Erik could get his first paid haircut in years. He looks good.
