And we went on a wonderful trip weekend before last to the Bay Area. My eldest nephew and, more accurately, his wife, are expecting their first child. Pretty exciting. But no pictures. All the No Cal relations were there and besides Adrian and I, Jeff and Sandi flew up from San Diego. It was a wonderful event. The almost-grandmothers were there and thrilled. Mark and Trina looked happy about their pending son, who will arrive mid-May. Nice people are born mid-May, so I expect a lot of him.
But now we are home again. Mushroom gazing. We have new neighbors. I'd say aging hippies, but he is closer to 40 than the requisite 60. His wife thinks he looks like John Lennon. Humm. Not. But it pleases her, so okay. John Lennon.
It's not that life is boring. I'm listening to several books. I've decided to read Lords of Finance since Karen has now read it. Adrian has tried forever to get me to read it and I demurred. Reading. It's a skill I reserve for very few books. But now I'm thinking that I might hold a discussion group at PALAC if it's as good as K&A say.
On Saturday we had a PALAC emergency. I've started working in the office two days a week. Others are trying to publish the official handbook and had a Word problem. I jumped on my horse and rode to the rescue. Not really. It's just that the woman who was doing it hates Word. She had thrown in the towel, couldn't get the darn page numbers right. My solution? I deleted the page numbers. It's only 17 pages long. And those of us who use Kindles are used to not having page numbers. Maybe I should have put a little gauge at the bottom to show you how far you are in the text. Or you could look. See. They really need my skills.
Audible had a $5.00 sale of books. I bought a bunch of mysteries. two books about driving or training through Asia, esp. China, ScrewTape Letters, True Grit, old Swedish mysteries. Now I can't decide what to listen to. See, it's a pretty exciting life. If you like to watch mushrooms grow.
