# 11 PM

Decided to try to replace the radio in my car, with Dara's help. (The amplifier is kaput.) I've had a replacement sitting in my closet for months. We got the old radio out of the dash with no real trouble. Then we discovered that the cables between the radio and the rest of the car are not standardized. So I spent the past hour chasing around town looking for an appropriate adapter. The replacement was made by Radio Shack and their website claims that they have adapters for most car models, but the local store told me smugly that the chain no longer carries any car-radio-related anything. (I got the replacement at a swap meet.) All other potential sources are either closed because it's Sunday or closed for renovations. Feh.

Dara's come back from Los Angeles; I picked her up at the airport. Tonight we're going to go see 1776 (the musical) at Woodminster.
