weekend

I'd like to dedicate this paragraph to the anonymous twit who tried to run me down on Saturday: Yo. You are required to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Especially when they have walk signals and you have red lights. Especially when you have a "no turn on red" sign. Sheesh. Don't make me think longingly of carrying disposable projectiles in my pockets. (Mmm, snowballs. Too bad I can't pitch. :-) )

Friday night was cold. I am glad to have a nice, long down-filled coat with a hood. If it didn't have fur (presumably fake) around the hood, which gets in my eyes when the hood is pulled tight, it'd be perfect. But it's still a great coat for walking to shul in weather like this. It's overkill for anything that involves going from the warm house to the warm car to the warm destination.

Saturday night we went to my company's holiday party. We missed "Santa", which was fine with me. (The party started at 4, but dinner wasn't until 6 so I could safely wait for the end of Shabbat.) The food was good, and there was plenty for vegetarians to eat. I introduced Dani to lots of people whose names he'll probably forget. :-) As far as I know the one co-worker did not actually engage him in conversation in Hebrew. There was no band/DJ, which meant it was actually possible to converse. I appreciate that.

This morning we bought gifts for my niece and nephew. We wanted to visit a couple stores on Craig Street and weren't sure if they would open at 11 or 12, so we erred on the late side. It turns out that most places there open at 1 on Sunday. Oops. That possibility had not occurred to me; I figured that anyone who was open on Sunday at all would be open by noon. So we "had" to spend some time in Barnes & Noble before going back. :-) (The second attempt was successful.)

I've posted some more in-character journal entries in [livejournal.com profile] ralph_dnd.

The contractor should be coming tomorrow, so with luck I'll have an office I can move into in a few days. Now, to find some energetic folks to pay to shlep furniture and boxes upstairs....
