Best Christmas candy? ALMOND ROCA of course.
Stacking firewood outside in flipflops and a t-shirt. Guess this is what they call ‘winter’ here in California.
Working on ‘Redemption Ark’ by Alastair Reynolds. One of my many Christmas holiday books to read.
Just spent three hours diagnosing windows networking problem caused by one machine set to type ‘Peer-Peer’. Typical holiday computer fixin.
good layer of frost on the deck in Corralitos this morning.
‘Benjamin Buttons’ was a little bit like ‘Forest Gump’, except not with a dimwit. Enjoyed it.
Shot some skeet today with 12 and 20 gauge shotguns. Boy did I suck.
I’m pretty sure the Island of Sodor has the worst train safety record in the world.
I just want to extend my deepest sympathies to my friends who have to work today. Also, I am still ON VACATION.
The worst of the horrible sickness I experienced last night seems to be over. Drinking water, fingers crossed it won’t come right back up.
Does soy eggnog with rum count as a real drink? It better because that’s what I’m chugging right now.
An FRA representative just called to tell me they are investigating the open door on moving Caltrain incident I reported last week.
Went to see ‘Australia’ at the cinema last night. Actually a darn good movie in a very old-fashioned way.
What’s the rule on shaving over Christmas vacation? Because I don’t really feel like doing it until 2009.
Either every artist on KDON sounds exactly like T.I. or T.I. is in every song on KDON right now. Or, I am just old.

Having a beer at JJ’s and watching the Sharks game.
Stuffing my face with persimmon cookies at Grandma’s house. Yay holidays!
I sent a letter to the FRA and Caltrain HQ about door failure to close on train yesterday. Too Ralph Naderish?
I just learned the three Kings (of Orient are, etc). were named Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar.
Did I mention that I rode a Caltrain last night with a door wide open next to me at 50 mph? Train crew totally unaware.
Bullet train door failed to close after 22nd st. We rode in to SF at full speed, train crew unaware. Major safety violation!
The album ‘March’ by Michael Penn (Sean Penn’s brother) is really underrated. I like pretty much every song.
Here’s to holdiays with the family… and twitter! (http://ping.fm/Yo27d)
Weirdest and most enjoyable Yahoo! perk, in a small way: every receptionist hands out free gum.
Taking the early train to work today. Nice to see the sunrise on my walk to the station.
Why do I feel like I’ve been at this bar hundreds of times before? I’ve got deja booze.
Just donated a toy at Zipcar SF HQ and won $25 driving credit. Merry Christmas!
Dear sweetened condensed milk: I wish you could be in my coffee every day.
The Devil’s on Sugar Smacks, down at the Radio Shack : ‘Hello Time Bomb’ - huh?
I would like 5000 ‘replica watches’ for Christmas, please. According to my spambox they are very affordable.
I am loving the heck out of TrackThis (http://ping.fm/dfw2P) for tracking my holiday packages via twitter this holiday season.
Why is it a rule
Well apparently we are stomping in every puddle this evening…
Just caught my toddler reaching into the cabinet and unhooking the child safety latch. This is a battle I can never win!
