Today is Prickle-Prickle, day 30 in the season of Bureaucracy, 3269.
A few happy-making memories from my last trip:
* Starting the day with a long breakfast spent mostly talking and watching hummingbirds flit through the garden. (I highly recommend The Briar Rose Inn if you want a B&B in the San Jose area. Cath-Bob sez: two thumbs up.)
* Actually being able to see the Milky Way (and get a clear view of Mars). There's too much pollution, light and otherwise, where I live to be able to see many stars at all, and I miss them.
* Long talks over dinner and several Strawberry Lemon Drop martinis. Yum yum yum.
Next time hopefully I'll also have time to get together with other folks. (If I didn't tell you I was going to be on the Left Coast, it really wasn't personal, I promise. It was because I had a fairly packed schedule because I was driving up to Chico to meet up with my aunt on Friday/Saturday and had a very early afternoon flight on Sunday.)
