The weather has been mostly clear. It was a quiet week.
My cousin is a week younger than I am, so I always know to buy him a birthday card when my birthday rolls around (it's difficult to forget 🙂 This year I found a good one. On the front it says:
This card contains all of the winning lottery numbers
for the rest of your life.
On the inside there's a grid of numbers above which it says
Some assembly required.
Coincidentally and serendipitously, the grid contains the numbers from 1 to 45. How convenient.
I wrote in the card: "Keri tells me she's decided to just keep celebrating her 38th birthday. If that doesn't suit (and you don't want to play the lottery), use this card to pick an age to be on any given day."
We reworked our email administration this week, getting rid of a whole bunch of mailing lists. I've been moving my Majordomo lists to Google Groups (Beta). We were also able to move the San Francisco Perl Users Group list to pm.org. Whew!
Rich spent a lot of time up on the roof this weekend, hosing out the gutters, trimming back pine branches, and cleaning moss and lichen off the shingles.
This week we watched Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow on DVD. Lots of CG. Weird sepia-print coloring. A fanciful science fiction romp. Great fun. Go rent it.
In between and around the rest, I've had almost enough naps and plenty of snuggles with the cats. There have been good meals and interesting conversations with Spouse and friends. I've had a few chats with my Dad and exchanged email with my mom.
Onward and Upward.
