I caved and turned on the heat the other day. Tis the season.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I turned mine on late Thursday as well.
Then yesterday I had the sliding door to the balconey open all day.

It's brisk. Matilda's ice cold fingers was a decisive factor.
Hey Consuela, where are there good cheap (free?) rock climbing walls in the Bay Area? Emmett's school has a wall and he really likes it. I need to find him some place to clamber.

Err, free is not to be had unless you want to go outside. There are some little crags in Glen Park, IIRC, and I think they're okay for bouldering.
Otherwise you have your choice of Mission Cliffs at 18th and Harrison ($15/day pass), Ironworks in Berkeley (Ashby at I-80), and Great Western Power Company, the new gym in Oakland at 20th & Broadway (which isn't open to the public yet).
Some of the bigger health clubs might have climbing walls, but I don't know which they might be. The Touchstone gyms have kids programs; some years back I used to work Saturdays at the gym in Berkeley, doing "kid's belay", which was pretty fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This week's NUMB3RS was one of the weirdest so far--but I did appreciate some of the meta although, sloppily the Taxi meta didn't occur to me until right when they made the reference.
As for the main plot--what's the rationale behind a halfway sensible forger drawing each forgery separately? I guess, in the end, the whole Skylar reveal, but why wasn't the FBI surprised by it? It's not like each copy of a normal comic is drawn separately.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Should I be concerned if a bank I don't bank with sent me an envelope with a W9 to be filled out, a SASE, and nothing else?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I vote yes -- it could be an old-fashioned scam. At least it's worth a call to the damn bank, could have been an envelope-stuffing mistake.
It's only 2 PM on Saturday, and I'm damn close to running out of Internet to amuse myself with. Feh.

It would be a clever scam. Can't be a mistake, because the W9 has my name & address typed on it. But I have no idea who to call about this. Customer service, I guess?

Pfft. It was 21 F outside when I went to bed last night. (It's 36 at present.)
