Saturday Summary

[mdlbear]

I managed to squeeze in a walk, at about 11:30, between a late breakfast and an afternoon party. Feeling pressed for time, I just walked in the neighborhood rather than driving up to Los Gatos Creek. It's not a bad walk, but completely flat. Across W. San Carlos, left on Dana, down a couple of blocks past the schools my daughters used to attend, to the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden. Once around the outside, then through the roses on the East side, around most of the rest of it, and back home. Almost an hour.

There were very few roses in bloom, but many had buds. Quite a few fresh-looking buds on the Royal Amethyst, plus a few larger ones that were brown on the outside; probably frost damage.

The party was a cookie exchange. OK; a bit boring. I stayed in the kitchen with the women; their husbands were watching football and playing video games. Some good conversation in the kitchen, and more food. We left before dinner -- the flower_cat's back was beginning to hurt. One thing B's kitchen doesn't have is comfortable chairs at the table.

Most of the rest of the day, apart from making coffee and breakfast, and doing a load of dishes, was working on the CDROM content for About Bleeding Time. There isn't really very much original content; mostly it's pulled in from elsewhere on the fileserver. Just a couple of web pages to hold it together. Progress is being made.
