All kinds of good vibes for your brother and all of you, amyth.

Oh, amyth. Best of luck to your brother and the whole family.

Suzi, do you think CJ and mac are talking to each other?

Oh lordy, that would be bad. Though, knowing CJ, that is when he would show his charming ability to get along with anyone.

There is one little girl at the dojo, I'm guessing she is around 10. She hits every button I have, finds nerves I never knew I had and I just can't deal with her. I know plenty of other adults who feel the same. CJ can get her to do stuff in the dojo with no effort and she doesn't bug him at all.

Ok, homework is done. Time to be mean mom.

ousted 3 Supreme Court Judges who had the gaul to rule the 'one man-one woman' marriage amendment uncostitutional!

Support for my view that it makes total sense for judges to be elected rather than appointed, and that this should also extend to brain surgeons.

I feel like I bogarted all the good luck this week. You can blame the mid-term election reversal on me.

Thanks, Connie.

OMG so full. Just back from a mysterious work dinner. Mysterious because everyone else at the dinner was at some top secret offsite meeting all day that I know nothing about and was not invited to. But, I was invited to the dinner! And, apparently my name came up a lot. I don't even know.

In addition to many unusual and excellent appetizers, I had black cod with a miso glaze. It did not quite live up to the time I had the same dish a couple of years ago and it was one of the top five things I've ever put in my mouth. (Ba dum bum) But it was damn close.

I'm sleepy. My students had a midterm tonight, so I had to stay and proctor that, after teaching all day. So I had a sandwich for dinner, and now I'm having some soup for whatever meal it is you eat at quarter to 10.

Burrell, was it black cod we had at the Harrison Ford restaurant? I was totally impressed with that new dish. But see how I can't remember what it is.

They finally showed an overhead shot of the people at Civic Center Plaza. The crowds are insane.

Emmett and I were there! There were hundreds of thousands people there. So crazy packed.

But I did get to see Aubrey Huff waving his rally thong, so that was good.

Getting home on public transit was a hassle. And then...our car was towed.

Yes, they moved the construction markers after I had parked the car on that side of the street. I came in right behind the street sweeper and was very careful to move ahead of the markers they had out. Then they moved them. $481. We'll challenge it but that's a whole 'nother hassle.

OTOH - Go Giants!

Just recovered from a stupid migraine. Too washed out to concentrate much. Going to watch TV at 8:00. What do I watch for shallow fun, no need to engage the brain?
