  ! (10:43:45) mdlbear: I was a little surprised a few minutes ago to realize
    that yesterday was a Good Day.  The last week or two I've mostly been some
    combination of anxious, tired, and vaguely depressed. 
  * brunch at El Torito - not as good as usual.  Grump.  Hope it's temporary.
  * 1pm Baycon meeting
    * baycon programming (in misc)
    ~ photos and bios for Baycon
  * drive.  Got strawberries and tangerines at the fruit stand
  & skype with Chaos (from Barnard).  Should do this on Wednesdays.
  * dinner: pork chops w/ apricot-pineapple jam, broccoli, rice pudding
  " Cat: We're making dinner.
    YD: I don't see you cooking.
    Me: She's the brain, I'm the hands.  Or at least the pinky.

  % the nice weather probably has something to do with my good mood, too.

Another good day. I've been having a (short) string of them. Good weather, Spring, sunlight, catching up on sleep, ... who knows? I wish I did know; it might be more repeatable. More later, perhaps.

We went to brunch at El Torito because it's close to the hotel where the Baycon meeting is. The YD wanted to join staff, and is now attached to the Con Suite. Meanwhile, Colleen and I got some loose ends filled in with Programming and Guest Liason. (Did I mention that we're fan GOH's at Baycon this year?)

After that we went out for a drive, and I got (local!) strawberries and tangerines at the fruit stand. I made a tasty dinner: pork chops with apricot-pineapple jam, broccoli, and rice pudding.

Quote of the day:

Cat: we're making dinner.

YD: I don't see you cooking.

Me: She's the brain, I'm the hands. Or at least the pinky.
