This morning in the shower I was mulling all of the things that should be done by the time my friends visit. I should put a grab bar in the shower. It would be nice to have the old vinyl off of the floor and tile down. Better still, have a new low-flo toilet in place. Maybe I can at least manage the grab bar. :) Clearing stuff in the guest rooms. One room won't be difficult, the other will have a lot of stuff lined up along one side of the room. My dining table has projects on it but should be cleared off (much of that goes in the cluttered second bedroom I just described). My work is cut out for me.

John, I've thought it might be handy to learn to write a couple of small apps for around the house. I have one that runs my blue ray player (downloaded from Sony) and another that runs the Fire TV stick (downloaded from Amazon). But there are other addressable devices around here, and one I'd like to add - a lamp that I could turn on remotely. If I'm getting home after dark and forgot to turn on the lights in one room I want to make it look like someone is already home. This would involve an addressable on-off plug in the wall with the lamp already plugged in and on.
