And now what did you do TODAY?

[skullguise]

Installed a new router, old one was dropping Wi-Fi (and ocasionally wired signal) too much....

Also talked with our financial planner, and we're in pretty good shape for Andrew's college funding!

[blessingx]

Said good-bye.

Met up with pabbi1 Al to listen to some live music. The walk was great, the weather is gorgeous! Also, noticed a "newish" cocktail bar on the way there. Stepped in and checked the place out but didn't have time for a drink. It looked pretty nice and is within walking distance of my house... what is not to like.

I miss Al.

You should meet up with us next time he is in town. He is down here often for work. He would love to see you and Marc again.

Enjoyed a not too overpriced (in Sterling) latte in LHR waiting for the gate to be announced for warmer/sunnier climes

Joanne hopes to get some time by the pool when we get back this afternoon.

[swt61]

Have fun Grahame and Joanne!

[Grahame]

Now back at SFO where it is indeed warmer and sunnier. Larkspur is likely to be even more so.

Just returned from a dad/daughter date. Youngest wanted to spend the day watching our mutual alma mater WMU play UConn. Had a nice drive to Kalamazoo, ate a huge lunch, found out the game was postponed by 30 minutes. Stopped at Waldos (just off campus bar) for a beer. When we arrived at the stadium it was 46 degrees and pouring rain. 52 and bright sun at half time. WMU wins 30 - 24. Nice meal at a local restaurant on the way home. Just said good bye and realize what a great time we had together.

I like being a dad

Went to a place in Raleigh called Pullen Park. Took my daughter on the little boat ride and carousel there. Then a picnic lunch with the family. A good day. I too, love being a dad and love the time I have with my daughter.

Oktoberfest 2012 started out rainy and overcrowded but I managed to have several liters of beer, some pretzels and roast chicken, and fun. After a slow start, I hung out with some 20-somethings from Ohio and Michigan and France. I never made it into one of the tents, but the spent most of my time in the bier gartens at Paulaner and Hacker. Good times but lousy pics.

^ Does look wet, but good that you had beer, company and fun to keep you dry!

[Grahame]

Went to an ex-neighbor's wedding replay party, where they reenacted their wedding vows, officiated by their landlady, for those who weren't able to attend the real ceremony the previous weekend.

Later in the evening there was an open mike ( for themselves and their 'creative' friends )

and bride and groom tossing.

Scotty, another chef ex-neighbor and mutual friend grilled up some mean orange/honey Salmon cheeks and belly's.

We know we are back in Marin.

Taped back together my Obama bumper sticker after some douche at work tried to rip it off my car but was not able to complete the job. I assume it is the same douche that took the last one about a month ago.

To be clear he/she is a douche because of this action. I think both sides can agree that messing with someone's property is bs.

[Voltron]

Douche indeed. Tape one to the inside of your rear window so they can't get at it.

[Dreadhead]

^Good solution but unfortunately on this car the tinting is so strong to render a bumper sticker inside illegible.

[aardvark baguette]

bumper stickers are always a bit of a gamble. its asking a lot of modern society to respect property rights nowadays.

i dont think they're up to it.

[crappyjones123]

flip cam. catch the asshole and report him.

Lollers.

Agreed. Unholy carp, that's really douchey. I mean, does he really expect to make a difference in a campaign? How fucking stupid..."Oh my gosh, what was I thinking, promoting Obama with a bumper sticker?!?!? I will change my ways immediately!"

Reminds me of a douche at work (in reverse) that had tea party shit plastered all over his car. Always wanted to do something, but not my property...

Said douche is now in jail and probably headed to prison on child porn charges. Ex-douche I guess? Nah, still a douche, just no longer employed here

[blessingx]

Speaking of douches, I just discovered Turntable.fm DJing. Welcome to 2011.

[Dusty Chalk]

Holy shit, that stuff was addictive as hell.

the really strange one here is local businesses that put huge Romney signs on their property. um, this city votes 90% democrat. you're going to lose more in business than you'll possibly gain even if your sign is the one that wins the election.

Yesterday was first day back at work after vacation. It was like I hadn't been away.

I think I can safely assert:

Vacation > Work

My body still can't decide what time zone it thinks it's in, yet.

On our return one of Joanne's Sisters posted a "Look what you're missing" picture.

I fail to see what i'm missing

[swt61]

Holy shit, that stuff was addictive as hell.

We were just talking about Tea Party, Child Pornography and DJing. Please be more specific!

turntable.fm is virtual crack.
