I tried a new route to work today. It took almost twice as long and cost 4 times as much as the regular route. I'm hoping at least that I got some new neural pathways out of the deal.

I forgot about the omp too!  

Outlook "corrected" 'omp' to 'imp' - but I would never forget the Imp!  Can't wait for Tyrion to come back to us.

This morning in the BART station,  a busker was singing a song I really like, so we chatted afterwards. He said, "not many people know that one." I said, "it's SnowPatrol, right?"  He thought I said, "snowblower" and it just cracked him up. He then gave me a fist bump.

Friend in town this weekend, lots of touristy stuff. Low point – a guy climbed over the railing of the GG Bridge and was threatening to jump. The crisis cops came quickly and talked to him for quite awhile; hopefully that turned out well. The chopper was still hovering when we left.

Cream cheese jalapeño croissant ~ mmmmm

Did a lot of hiking over the weekend. Apparently, a mountain lion was hiking in the same area of Woodside  – glad not to have crossed paths.


Going to lunch today w/ a friend from Tennessee (he's good Southern), we call him Shorty. He's a FedX pilot - just got in from Anchorage, AK and is headed to Narita, Japan, before four days off in Taipei, Taiwan. Apparently has some "cool" earbuds from China for C. He couldn't guarantee they came straight from the factory…I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
