9/3: consolation prizes

I was really hoping to go kayaking this evening, but there was a heat advisory--so I decided to err on the side of caution and not head out when the weather service was suggesting not to.  Staying in gave me the chance to finish commenting on a draft of a student's research project (something I really needed to do soon anyway), and it gave me time to figure out how to make a change on a webpage I'm editing (something I really wanted to figure out but had gotten too frustrated with to make headway).  I'm going to count these things respectable victories for Labor Day.
