A Good Day

Today was a great day.  I started off by half-running half-walking my way around Century Village, and then picked up a hair colour at Walgreens.  It's Clairol's Medium Brown Ash to be exact.  My hair's now a very dark brown, it looks almost brown-black, and I think it looks great!  It was just what I needed - a new hair-do.

Then I sat Grandma down in front of her bathroom cupboards and proceeded to haul out everything she had in there, line the floor of the cupboards and then throw out anything that was close to my age before putting it all back in there again.  It was lots of fun for me, and I think Grandma really enjoyed herself too.  Jeremy went out for another computer job in the afternoon so while he and Grandma were having late afternoon naps I did the grocery shopping, then cooked dinner.  It was a very productive day and exactly what we all needed.

Around 10pm Jeremy and I went for a walk outside under a nearly full moon.  It was so beautiful, the weather has finally cooled off so it's not constantly uncomfortable outside.  We walked through the golf course - you heard right, we did the unthinkable!  I had never actually walked on a golf course before and it was fun feeling the different grasses under my bare feet.  Jeremy explained to me the difference between the fairway, rough and the green, but I still don't understand why anyone would want to ruin a nice walk by carting a trolley of iron sticks behind them.  We found a tennis court which looked like it would be a lot of fun, if we ever get around to it. 

Eventually we decided not to vandalise the golf course or jump in the swimming pool in our clothes - or out of them - and we just went home to bed.  It was a good end to a good day.

Koh Lanta vs. The Tsunami

  • Tsunami Water Level
    In April 2005, Fiona and I went to Koh Lanta, an island off the Andaman coast of Thailand. We were shocked to see the damage done by the tsunami, and we decided to see what we could do to help our new friends. We sent out an email, and within four days we had raised a total of $2,905.00 USD from almost 50 friends and family members. Our most profound thanks to everyone who donated. You cannot possibly underestimate how much you have helped.

March For Women's Lives

  • Us
    From across the nation and from nearly 60 countries, women marched in Washington DC on Sunday with their daughters, mothers, husbands and others in support of the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that made abortion legal. The rally stretched from the base of the U.S. Capitol about a mile back to the Washington Monument. While authorities no longer give formal crowd estimates, various police sources informally gauged the throng at between 500,000 and 800,000 people. I've been to a fair number of rallies in Washington DC, and I've never seen anything like this one. It's difficult to tell from photos, but the number of people was absolutely staggering. The sheer size of the crowd coupled with the raw enthusiasm and the sense of power was overwhelming. I am proud to have been a part of it.
