Done yesterday (20091209 We)

1209 We
  * up 6:30; W=196.4; drugs, nose, teeth; coffee, dishes
    ! pleased at the weight loss.  Smaller lunches?  Faster walks?
  : with frost on the windshield for the second day in a row, it finally
    occurred to me that the right place for my gloves was, um..., the glove
    compartment. 
  * Colleen: humira
    ! I hate hurting her.  It doesn't seem to get any easier.
  @ Droid trumps iPhone for Time Gadget of the Year | Electronista
  * walk (Stanford Shopping Center)
    bought Cuisinart burr coffee grinder
    No French presses in evidence. 
    Looked at bags at Edward's.  Toccano nice, but no organizer flap and a
      little small.  Eagle Creek either just barely too small, or several
      inches too big.  Barnard _does_ fit in a jacket pocket, though! 
      (I can't close the flap, but can carry it pretty securely)
  * gorgeousgary -- swapped some songs
    the Two Bears, Inherit the Earth
  ~ Wishful Wednesday
  * bed ~11:40 (Colleen followed ~midnight)

A pretty good day, I guess. Just above neutral. Some good fast walking around the Stanford Shopping Center, though I didn't find the kind of shoulder bag I've been looking for. Toccano has a nice one, but it has no organizer compartment. Eagle Creek has two: one's about an inch too small, and the other's a couple of inches too big. I know where that leads. And both EC bags are rather expensive. Who knows? I might end up learning how to sew.

I also went in to Macy's and bought a Cuisinart burr coffeegrinder for about $60 with tax. Colleen will keep the old blade grinder for spices. No large French presses in evidence, though.

And we had gorgeousgary for the evening, out from DC on a business trip. I sang the two Bears and Inherit the Earth.

Oh, yeah: links -- Droid trumps iPhone for Time Gadget of the Year | Electronista -- how about that?

Check out this guy's work. I met him when his little shop and dog were in Santa Cruz. Does GOOD solid work--anything purchased from him will last years, unless my son uses it. The boy destroyed a Lands End backpack in less than one school year.

Thanks! Looks tasty, though a bit expensive.

For some reason, I misread that headline as "Droid humps iPhone for Time Gadget of the Year".

I blame fatigue + need for an early night. :P

Um... thanks? Definitely luggage crack.

I see that someone who's local to the shop also recommends it ;-)

If I ever get a laptop, I want a Bihn bag.

Great seeing you, Colleen, and the rest of the gang.
