Frustrations
(blog entry)
Okay, I run the water and energy efficiency programs for my City. There is a department head who wants me to agree to pay specific money before she starts a project without any assurance that she will even do any efficiency programs, much assure ...

Life Changes
(blog entry)
After 23 years of having a daughter around the house (and all her friends and activities), she's graduated from college and gone. I am happy for her, but WOW how the house is quiet in the evenings.... What a change in life, that's for sure.
Sad News
(blog entry)
My youngest sister called tonight. The sonnagram on her baby (she's 6 months pregnant) looks like there might be a brain abnormality. She's very worried and upset, naturally. Of course, they can't schedule the complete tests with the high tech ...

Off to China
(blog entry)
We're off to China tomorrow--land of way too much rice, hopefully great scenery/sites/people/shopping :-) I'm decided that Mandarin is not going to be my language though--WOW, what a tough language.
Driving on 880 in the Bay Area

My youngest sister called tonight. The sonnagram on her baby (she's 6 months pregnant) looks like there might be a brain abnormality. She's very worried and upset, naturally. Of course, they can't schedule the complete tests with the high tech equipment at UC Davis for a couple of weeks. I'm crossing fingers, toes, everything in hopes that the baby will be okay.

There is no such thing as a dangerous high-speed chase. We all drive like that.
The morning rush hour is from 6 to 10. The evening rush hour is from 3 to 7. Friday's rush hour starts Thursday morning, except on a 3 day weekend, when it begins on Wednesday.
