He should have come in sooner!

That's what the doctor said to me when she came to the waiting room after removing two large polyps from Don's colon. We don't have the lab report, but we assume that he's fine.

We enjoyed our SF visit, but missed John Oliver at Cobbs because he was sold out. We did hear some excellent SF Chamber music and took great walks between the rain storms.

I'm coming around to Obama.

Colon Check

Don and I are off to the SF VA hospital for his colon check up. We are staying for the weekend, hoping for a good night at a comedy club and maybe a string quartet playing at one of the churches.
I have bowls and lids to trim, but will keep them moist until I return.
I do appreciate the blog political comments, especially the long winded ones. I want Bill back.

Who Ya Gonna Vote For?

...come Super Tuesday? I need to send in my ballot soon. Since no tengo TV, I haven't been watching the debates, just listening to the post-debate and caucus commentary, mostly on NPR. I guess I can visit the various web sites to learn the details of their various plans, but I may just go with my gut. I heard a report (no doubt on NPR) that most people voted for the person that they judged best after only five seconds. Sounds about right. (Thanks to the JHers for discussion inspiration!)

Hey Axtells of Chico and Redding

Mur and I are heading to the Coast for the President's Day weekend next month--why don't y'all join us?

Belatedly some photos from a wonderful trip to our east coast family

Happy Birthday, Jay and Murray,

You guys are catching up to me. I just turned 50.

Stormy Weather

A colleague at work sent this photo around, illustrating how we're just about in the eye of the storm. We have trees down and power out all over the county. I didn't go into the office today--I need a little more recuperation time and decided the better part of valor would be me staying off the road. And I just remembered, the longhorns are due to arrive today!!
