Weekly Wrap-up 2005_09

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 deer in the grass and a pocket gopher zipping across the trail.

Rich has been working on the outline and slides for a talk he's giving on the afternoon of the 10th. He's coined a new word: "editerate".

It's Girl Scout Cookie Time. Support Girl Scouting; buy cookies.

This was a Cinnamon Bread week at the Job. A co-worker lives near a bakery in San Jose that makes the world's most wonderful swirly cinnamon bread. He's started taking orders every now and then. I always buy a loaf when he does this, then eat 1/3 or 1/2 over a few days and freeze the rest to get out a little at a time until the next time.

Saturday we caught the TV coverage of the arrival of the newest loading cranes for the Port of Oakland. Considering that we a) rarely see a television and b) only read about the cranes an hour earlier, it's a wonder we saw it at all.

This week I read Small Gods, by Terry Pratchett and Hex in the City, the 4th in the Nightside series by Simon Green.

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.
