The Monthly Nut

My post-event soreness reminds me that

1) I'm getting older
2) Dodgeball on trampolines makes for an excellent team offsite

Our five year and seven year old neighbors get overjoyed and like to shout and wave when we see them. Usually they'll tell us about where they're going or what they are eating for dinner. Today:

"We're going to the grocery store. Mom says Luna is dead."

It's cute when spoken excitedly by kids.

My Europe trip in September had a number of interesting developments. Now at least one of them can be revealed:

BSkyB and Google announce pioneering partnership

"He [Eric Schmidt, Google CEO] said that Google was planning similar deals with other large media firms and content providers. "If we can get this structure right over the next few months and it rolls out, then it becomes the index case for every other country and every other operator.""

Damn right!

It took a while for Caroline and I to get organized but we've now gotten our headboards and bedroom rug. A generous gift from Caroline's mom.

CB and I spent the afternoon and evening with the fine folks from SF Culinary Adventures, a food experience service owned by friends of ours. The impetus? Besides yummy dining and great conversation, Culinary Adventures was being filmed for a local news show.

A great NY trip for Thanksgiving. My dad is blogging.

The week before Thanksgiving we put Luna to sleep and gave her some relief from the cancer she's been fighting for the last 18 months. Luna was 12 1/2 years old and a wonderful companion. Caroline has put some pictures up on a website so we can all remember her.
