Hi, DScottD!! I am actually having a very nice time, recently. As I said before, I took a break from my very long vacation, and decided to become a productive member of society for awhile. So I have been getting up early and going to work instead of hanging out on the computer all day.
I really missed everyone, and now that the shock of laboring after being a member of the leisure class has worn off, I am even getting enough energy back to spend some time here again. My daughter starts high school in two weeks, so at the moment we are going shopping for clothes and shoes every night, but as soon as she is spending her evenings sitting near the computer doing homework for five or six hours, I am sure I will be providing moral support by hovering close by, at the computer screen.
The earthquake was sort of funny, a little startle compared to a major event. I jumped immediately into a doorway, but my daughter slept through it. The cats were pretty agitated. They stopped eating and went and hid under a table. However, the strangest part of it for me is that right after it happened, while I was on my way downtown on the subway, the trains were instructed to go slowly enough to do VISUAL inspections of the tunnel and the tracks. That means about two miles an hour!!! So they all got quite constipated, blocking up the entire route to work.
Finally, after sitting in the dark for twenty minutes between stations, we landed at a stop, and I got off and walked the rest of the way to work, which was several miles. I was only forty-five minutes late, which is not bad considering that the SF Muni system is a total joke even on a good day.
How are you? |
