Sunday was, again, pretty low-key. The high point was definitely bringing Colleen her Easter basket and the pot of purple hyacinths that Naomi had found Saturday in Whole Foods. Those really delighted her. I need to think of things like that more often.

Naomi quite rightly insisted that I wear something other than black for the occasion; I ended up in one of the first shirts that Colleen and Marty made for me; green with a mix of gold background patterns and white Chinese dragons. It needs to be turned into a short-sleeve shirt, though; the cuffs are badly frayed.

On the whole a good day, though lacking in the kind of deep conversation I love most. Next time. We just need to get Callie a job down here in Silicon Valley -- anyone have something for a Perl wizard / data-mining expert?
