Approaching the weekend where K and some of her pals go north to Calistoga and I wrangle the girls. We have plans. First, music class for Livie at Acme House of Music...love that shop and Annette is an awesome teacher. She's so patient with those tots, and Livie is not easy to keep still. Then I'm debating whether or not to take them to a District 4 townhall meeting...I may not. It may be too much to bring a 3 1/2 and 1 yr old. Then, perhaps, Farmers' market at Lakeshore. Hmmm, what to do in the afternoon?
Another in the multimedia series called "Post significant events that happened in your life before the proliferation of digital content..." or something like that.

Better late than never, right? With all of the things that have happened since that gorgeous summer's day in 2001, the most notable is that digital cameras really proliferated shortly after that. Thanks to K's mom for having these old negatives finally processed, almost ten years later.

Happy 2011 from a dwindling repository of posts. I don't come here much anymore. It seems my thoughts have been truncated to 140 characters a pop. Well, I have good reasons I suppose (see prev post).

Predictions? Don't want to jinx it, especially Packer/Bear bowl followed (hopefully) by the second Superbowl in as many weeks. Goals? Get them in order. Maintaining is fine but where am I headed? It's an important question that needs sorting. I'm approaching my five year mark at my current gig, which is a record. I do note, however, that the previous couple of places we lived both were about 3 years apiece, which seemed to shatter our previous records of where we rented before that. We're approaching year 2 of home ownership (itself a first), so longevity is something that is likely to be more frequent. Then again, in this country in its current state, who knows? We must always plan for change, advancement, improvement, redirection. There are no sure things anymore, even if you hold all the cards.

But how's this for longetivity? K & I will have been married 10 years this July. I have been in the Bay Area for 18 years straight. This is longer than any other place I've lived by 3 years now. So records are being broken. Doesn't mean I'll be a broken record...

How It’s Going, in three Haikus

What I miss these days is a lightness of being Things now seem heavy — jumping from crisis to crisis, duties to cross off on some checklist ...
