The weekend went by pretty fast. Played a lot with Alex in the backyard, took some naps, and made some yummy dinners (Saturday was Swiss-themed, tonight was Spanish-centric). We also got tickets to Star Trek IMAX (geekgasm), and reservations to the French Laundry (foodie heaven) for naiad8's birthday! It's good to have things to look forward to.

The plan is to stay at a hotel near the BART station in Pleasant Hill so we can take a train into scary Oakland.  The hotels was excellent, and we got a discreet, corner suite that we can use for any nefarious reasons ;)

We had a great ( Read more... )

Software release day is next Monday. Same day I got relatives flying in and I gotta pick them up in the afternoon. This means that the rest of the crew gets to do the upgrade without me. I think I need codeine to get sleep between now and Monday night.

Not that I've been sleeping much lately. I've been up until godless hours working on ten man- ( Read more... )

Ruffian came home with us last night after six hours of IV in the hospital.  I took him back this morning and they ran the same blood tests again.  His test results are either normal or close to normal, so he's definitely getting better.  We also concluded that he accidentally ate some ibuprofen while digging through my wife's old purse.  Crackers ( Read more... )
