Do you know what they like more than people taking their picture? People asking them how long it'll be until the power comes back on.

63 degrees today and I had to wait around for the realtor! Oh well, I still have Sat. and Sun that are supposed to be around 60. It's like a heavenly Spring reprieve in the middle of Winter!!

sounds a little chilly. You going to make it alright?

High 70s is the upper limit of what I find comfortable, and in the height of the day, can feel too warm for me.

Today was cold but bright and the air was dry and crisp. I had to be inside for much of the afternoon, but I wish I could have taken a walk. I find days like this to be so invigorating, like I'm really awake.

Book club was interesting. As I predicted, only one person other than me considered herself a true introvert. A few realized that they had more introverted qualities than they had previously thought, and a few others thought they might be introverted but realized they probably weren't. And there are two Chinese women (one from China, one from Taiwan) and an Ethiopian woman in the group so we also discussed the different perceptions of these introverted/extroverted qualities in different cultures. (We did have an Indian woman but her husband took a job in California and she left a few months ago, which is a shame because I think she would have had a lot to say about this book.)

And I also expected that a certain person in the group would be shocked - SHOCKED - to hear me say I'm an introvert. Sure enough, "What are you talking about? You're social and friendly and you talk in front of your classes all the time!" Oh well, at least I wasn't surprised at it

yeah, but perception of you is not of a introvert.

But remember that the heat out here is largely dry. Which makes a big difference in comfort.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. I saw American Sniper last night. Well worth seeing. The audience applauded at the end.

Today I'm gonna finishing designing a brochure, a door hanger, put up some issues on the web page and start trimming the roses and grapes and maybe start processing photos of the Peace March.

Is that all? Yeesh... I was going to hold at, "Getting off of the couch to refill my coffee-mug"!

Morning, fellow hosers. Business has slowed to a crawl here... Thankfully, I found someone who's busy enough to second shoot for.

Stable employment for the win!!!

Deadlines is the only reason. Gotta prune because my much better half will be undergoing a foot operation and she's the brains behind the pruning I'm just the muscle. We have more than 60 roses and I don't want to kill 'em. I'm probably gonna squeeze in Selma in the weekend also.
