Remember, remember the tenth of November:
Griddle, sourdough and pot.
I know of no reason
With griddle well-seasoned
That English muffins should ever be bought.

Aaaaah.

Tomorrow is Investiture - an all-day affair. Sunday is rehearsal, also sucking up much of the day.
Today is my birthday, so I took yesterday and today off so that I could have a relaxing weekend. So far, so good.

Yesterday, the wife and I ran some errands for our condo conversion and had a nice lunch in the Mission. We also took Galen in for his yearly exam - no problems and the vet remarked on his nice coat and teeth. Unhappiest kitty in the world while he was in the travel box, though.

I drove over to Muir Woods this morning and went on a 4.5 mile hike. I got there a bit later than I would have preferred - this meant that I didn't have the trails to myself, but it was still nice. I saw the back 1/3 of a bobcat, many ravens and red-tailed hawks, and a few dogs. And then a pint at the Pelican before coming home.

Dinner out tonight with the wife; I'll post a review sometime afterwards.

I've been somewhat listless of late - work and travel have severely burned me out. The wife suggested I start a project to energize a bit of creativity. So, I finally started the model for the Capitano mask I've had planned for a couple years. It's loosely based on 1620ish etchings of Capitano characters.
(This actually has nothing to do with a play that we may or may not perform next year - I've had this sketched out for quite a while and done nothing with it.) ( Read more... )
