    The weather was certainly interesting this week! It started raining in the latter part of Monday afternoon, rained all day Tuesday then cleared up until Sunday evening. Sunday night it POURED. The kitties were not happy about that. Much sound of rushing water on rooftops (especially the Lexan screenporch roof). Big kitty eyes. Both Bebop… Continue reading

    The weather has again been variable, sunny in the early part of the week followed by rain on Friday and the weekend. Rich was out of town for most of this week, getting home Saturday night. He attended the o'Reilly Emerging Technologies Conference in San Diego. I've been to that one when it was held… Continue reading

    The weather has been mostly luscious this week. Warm. Sunny. Simply gorgeous. Friday in particular was much too nice to be indoors. The weekend sparkled. And we have two white lilac blooms in the back yard (yummmm). I love Spring. During the Autumn and Wet seasons, the ornamental plum tree in the back yard became… Continue reading

  • This is Fashion?

    There's something about the world of "high fashion" that I just don't understand. This woman appears to be dressed, as near as I can determine, in a comforter with pillow. She's dressed as a walking bed?! This is not a Halloween costume. Still, as Rich points out, this could be convenient if, erm, you wanted… Continue reading

    The weather, once again, has been variable, but mostly clear. The weekend was lovely and blue. We (finally) went for a walk along the new section of trail nearest our development. We've been for walks but simply hadn't tried out the new section before this. It was a nice walk and we saw a mule… Continue reading

    The weather was variable. There were some sunny days, intermixed with a lot of rain! That's Spring in the Bay Area. Monday was a Bank Holiday (as they say everywhere in the World but here). Hoorah! A three-day weekend followed by a four-day week. We went out to brunch; I took a nap. It rained… Continue reading

    The weather has been largely wet all week, mostly at night. There was even a thunderstorm alert for SFO although nothing we could see or hear. For Valentine's Day, I bought Rich and myself a box of Joseph Schmidt truffles (don't eat them all at once :). Mezzaluna had her annual vetdoctor appointment this week.… Continue reading

    The weather has been fairly warm all week (to the extent that long-sleeved shirts were no appropriate for the Job. We had some drizzle starting Friday but nothing I'd call "rain". I got the last of our Majordomo mailing lists moved over to GoogleGroups (beta). No more Majordomo used here. Rich has installed a copy… Continue reading

    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… Continue reading

    The weather was been nice last week although there's been a storm in the Pacific – I kept getting Coastal Flood Watch and High Tide warnings from the weather service. We did a Perl & Egg Rolls SIG meeting (Perl programmers meet for Chinese dinner) in The City. Good food; nine people. We adjourned for… Continue reading
