It's 72F now with a range of 70-79 forecast for the next 24. We have had rain the last couple days. Maybe today too. This is a beautiful and wonderful thing. I don't know how long it has been, but we were very dry with fires popping up here and there. Rain good.

I'm working from home today. We normally only have 4 in the office, but 2 are out of town and the other has some tough coding to do and needed to work in his padded cell at home to concentrate. So I'm at home too. Phones forwarded to me. I worked at home for years. It'll be good to be able to do laundry and work at the same time.

Season four of Newsradio to be released June 20.

Bon, what would I do without you!? Also still eagerly anticipating the May release of Dr. Katz.

Also, I had a dream I met shrift last night. She was all... Jasmine like... with the calm and the love and the peaceful inner beauty.

It is gorgeous here as well. Yay!

Morning. I have toget to golf today. Luckily it's a pretty day, decent weather, and I've been well-caffeinated. None of this, of course, is conducive to me actually hitting the ball.

It's been raining pretty consistenly here. But in a way that's much better than last year, where it all dumped in a short time and mud slid and roads were blocked and rocks fell and houses capsized.

Still, it's tedious. I would like it to at least be more often like the weekend, which was low 70s and very sunny.

And then the heat can begin. I'm ready. I have the short-sleeved tops to prove it.

Ariel Sharon declared permanently incapacitated.

I took golf in high school phy ed. I sucked. Never developed a consistent swing....

We're supposed to have a high of 72, mostly cloudy. But it's sunny now. Today I went to work without a jacket.

I'm watching Justin Chambers on yesterday's Ellen, and he seems like a really nice guy -- really appreciative of the steady work and the success of the show. Of course, he's extra glad for the paycheck, what with the FIVE KIDS.

Tom, 7:30?!?! That is not right, in ways that are completely wrong.

Happy to report that I picked-up my dry-cleaning, had breakfast before I left home, put the trash out, and got to work 15 minutes early.

The rest of the day should follow this pattern.

Hi all!

Does anyone get the pun in this joke?

Back in the 1800s the Tates Watch Company of Massachusetts wanted to produce other products and, since they already made the cases for pocket watches, decided to market compasses for pioneers traveling west. It turned out that although their watches were of finest quality, their compasses were so bad that people often ended up in Canada or Mexico rather than California. This, of course, is the origin of the _expression: "He who has a Tates is lost!"

He who hesitates is lost, Sophia.
