Today trying bread with barley malt extract.

Lovely day visiting w/sfslim in Berkeley, including my 1st ride on a motorcycle. Totally great! As if I needed another reason to go back...

trying to write 1500 words on the history of the algorithm.

Seems we bought our house 2 weeks to soon to get a tax credit, and paid just $400 too little in medical expenses to deduct those. X[ Doh!

The group soliciting that chapter was kind of bogus; I found out just in time. Thanks to Twitter and buridan ! I'll send it elsewhere.

Goals for the day: finish chapter for Handbook of Digital Research; plant black jack fig.

On my way to lunch and the Twisted Oak tasting room in Murphys with the parents. Stopping at garden center and hardware store after.

Blerg. The grrrls go back to school today; up too early. I am, that is. Step 1. Coffee.

Our internet is finally back. Had been down since about 6pm.

Took grrrls and parents to Columbia State Park. Grrrls so cranky I considered wedging them into a narrow crevice and fleeing the scene.
