still alive, doing better

I've been pounding away at my slides for the November talk, at least I got an extension until Thursday. But I need to focus on that, so have been offline most workdays. I miss the fun and tigging.

One of the weirder things I've ever been paid to do (not like that) )

foggy view thumbnailI took a little walk at the Marina. It was so foggy I couldn't see much: there's usually a city and a bridge or two over there. (not my picture, but fog looks like... fog.)

I am wilted

It's been really hot here. Way beyond my normal tolerance, as the temperatures are usually in the 70s F/ 20s C. Yesterday it was 91 F / 32.8 C! Today 89/ 31.6. I know that's normal summer for lots of people (even 10 miles inland or south), but we're wusses. Berkeley has eight to twelve really hot days a year, so we don't have air conditioning, even a swamp cooler, and our house just gets hot and stays hot. So please forgive me when I sound a bit addled and/or do not comment on something.


ack, cut didn't work )

I'll be cross-posting for the foreseeable future, I couldn't leave my peeps at LJ/JF/IJ! *clutches you all*
