out and around, but not tonight

Not much to report, here... home from work, this week. Got the house ready, and the building inspector signed-off our permit yesterday (yay!). I want to finish the kitchen before the end of 2006. The Emerald Bowl was fun with kids, even if my team played poorly (no defense...).

Today... brunch with cyan_blue, was interrupted by necessity in order to ferry kidlets over to simplykimberly's house, in order to facilitate getting deedeebythebay to see a dentist. I'd never seen Kimberly's place... no chickens in sight, but lots of baking smells. :) I swung past tenacious_snail's briefly on the way back south from Richmond, and managed to set off the burglar alarm (I had the old disable code, not the current one). Meanwhile, at home James was holding a garage band rehearsal...

This evening... I had a couple of invitations, but ended up staying home alone. While patgreene went out... almost a role-reversal ;-).

winding down the year...

Today's tasks....

Letter sent to NASA HQS about 1/17 launch passes -- done

Speaking of which, any suggestions on dress-up? As far as formalwear goes, I own a standard-cut jacket, a longer 1940s-vintage shawl-collar jacket, a morning-suit frock coat and a white dinner jacket... have black and white ties, and matching cummerbunds... top hat, but no spats or walking stick... hmm. Ordinary white or wing-collared shirts, too...
