I don't know if I'll get to the beach at all this summer. Which is stupid because it's not THAT far away. feh.
I do belong to a great pool with a sandy beach though and I took the week after my b'day off and am staying in town so i hope to spend many many hours there.
OMG, remember talking about the Bay Bridge last week? I had a TERRIBLE dream last night that my former boss was driving us across the bridge and he would not slow down even though I was screaming at him. He was going like 100 mph over the bridge. We made it safely across but then I was like, we can't be friends any more because you wouldn't take my terror seriously. And it made me super sad! (He's a terrible driver, in real life, but I don't think he'd make me deliberately terrified!)
Oooh, the LIBRARY! Of course! D'uh. We'll stop there today. Owen's not into the programs (we've tried several times). BUT they have a great play area the kids love and I can pick up a decent book while I'm there. I need to ask them to order paperdol's book while I'm there, too.
The bonus is the library is walking distance of GRAETER'S.

Not my library. ::grump::
The professor being interviewed at 11 by NPR wanted to know how many entities were being sanctioned under a particular executive order. This meant counting by hand from a memo of very small type and trying to figure out whether some Arabic names were of individuals or entities. I came up with 133, another librarian with 142. That's as close as we're going to get, I think.
Must share. Needs sound. Make sure to click the "saved the beach" button, and wait after for the last thing. Hysterical!

I am insanely jealous of my friends who just left for a two week vacation in Seattle and some nearby island and Victoria, BC. They were bringing SWEATERS with them.
Seriously, if I had had any clue about the weather, I would have moved out here yonks ago.
I picked a freaking hot day to decide to roast a chicken and bake cookies.
I bet Toto wished we had a video camera, though, so he could put my dancing-while-quilting on YouTube.

Hah! Just wait until you are there in December though. Coldest place anywhere. (Although you may be living in a place that has, like, insulation and a decent heating system. My old flat had neither.)

That actually made me feel no better about how hot and humid it is here.
