I was standing on a nice sandy beach with the Pacific Ocean at my back when I took this photo last April. Sun shining, warm but not hot temperature, breeze, walking the beach. Nice memory. This April I'm going to be in San Francisco for the RSA Conference. Probably not as warm as San Diego, I believe. Carrie K. and I are hoping to meet up.....anyone else? I would love to say hello in person, if you would.
The wind has started up all ready for the Wind Chill Advisory that is posted for late tonight through tomorrow morning. How did I know that the wind's up...... because I'm still home sick. DH is also home sick with the flu. Fun, eh? I'm fine on the couch but once I start walking around, I'm toast. Oh well. At least the cats are enjoying having some humans to watch during the day. We're under scrutiny since we are not acting along what the cats consider to be the normal, cat-approved, schedule.
On another more personal note, if you are inclined, please send good thoughts or prayers for my Uncle Theodore. He had his first chemo session yesterday to combat recently diagnosed lung cancer that has spread to his liver. I spoke with him this afternoon and his logical, practical, engineering background is still in force but even he said he's not thinking as clearly as he is used to. He's the great guy in the white shirt in the back row.
Healthy thoughts in your direction, for you, DH and Uncle Theodore.

Thinking about you all, honey.

If you get Cookie to come to SFO, I might just buy a ticket myself. Short of that, we'll have to Skype or something.
Feel better. Stay on the couch!

Hope you all get better soon. Wouldn't a good ol' January Thaw be nice?
Best to your uncle... my sis begins treatment within the next two weeks. Cancer sucks.

Good thoughts being sent to your uncle. Hope the chemo is helpful in the long run.
Wow, the RSA is so security related, they don't even define their name. It's very cool and nothing to do with anything that I do. SF has perfect weather- never too hot.

Prayers for your Uncle Theodore!
Ha. Not hoping. Will. You need California stash enhancement. Also we don't have a wind chill factor. :)

Healing vibes are on the way to your uncle.
San Francisco in April! Lucky! It's one of my favorite cities. Great food and good yarn shopping. I recommend Imagiknit and then a bite to eat at Samovar across the street.
