Isn’t a corner office supposed to be a good thing?

So I started a new job on October 1.  It’s been pretty good.  I think it was a good move.  It ’s a busy place. 
There were changes at my old office that I was not comfortable with.  In fact, the future of the place had become uncertain.  I had to go into my “new place” [...]

Sunday breakfast

Peanut butter banana muffin.

Imminent adventures

Tomorrow morning I’m heading out to Oahu.  I’m going to hang with Kate this weekend.  Sounds good, yes?   We’ll probably do a little shopping;  hopefully I’ll obtain some Indian food.  I will most likely get to Whole Foods. Williams-Sonoma is a requirement.  There are museums and gardens–lots of things to do. 
I like to go to Oahu.  [...]

Let’s see how this works…

What you see here is a big sticky trap for cats.
Clever, yes?
I came home at lunch to find Hugo looking a little too comfortable on this table.  Also, I found a bud missing on that little potted lavender.  Missing, as if it had been simply bitten off.  
Well, I’m mad as hell and I’m not going [...]

Stalker

What is Hugo looking at so intently out the window?
This:

It was on the meter box.  
It seemed to be intently considering something  in the vines on the side of the house, but I wasn’t willing to get any closer to find out.

Pizza

So for supper tonight I wanted pizza.  At the moment I am severely financially challenged.   So, if I want it I have to procure it some way other than going down the street to Gianotto’s.
Gianotto’s has, by all means, wonderful pizza.  And the guy who owns it is super-nice and East Coast.  New York.  But [...]

Is this a local phenomenon?

 
 
 

I’m bored with the weather now. 
It has finally decided to rain.  And rain.  Not necessarily hard, but steady all evening. But that means that there will be flash floods in remote areas; and storm drains can never handle much, so streets will be flooded. 
So no more blog posts about Felicia. 
Because it is cool and damp, [...]

Still not storm-ravaged

So, here is the view from my driveway at 11:30 this morning.  Not exactly sunny, but not exactly a storm. See?  You can still see the ocean.  It was barely drizzling at the time. 
I actually stopped checking any updates.  Alarmists.  The local news on all the networks had their people out “in the storm” this morning.   They were [...]

Impending doom on the horizon?

Doesn’t look like it, does it?  

This was at 2:15 p.m.

My engineers are hard at work

Here in the lab we are working like crazy to come up with a solution to the s’mores problem, in the event of a power outage (see previous post).
