Checking in

Thinking about hotels, hospitality, reception...places you want to stay for awhile.  Actually, I just wanted to post a blog before October is over!

This semester is really kicking my teeth in.  I'm sitting here looking at my to-do list and it's long and complicated.  There aren't any short & easy tasks!

I am making progress in many directions.  From my last post, I was writing about starting a garden.  Many of the plants are infected/infested and I'm not sure if any of them will survive.  I could treat them with horticultural oil, but it's not recommended for use above 100 deg F and believe it or not, we're still experiencing triple digit weather!

Because being extraordinary is exhausting!

And it's National Chemistry Week! #ChemistryRocks

We had a great time at CicLAvia http://www.ciclavia.org/ciclavia_hola17 on October 8th.  The next CicLAvia is coming up on December 10th along Wilshire Blvd.

It's always great to see streets filled with people and bicycles.  It's so quiet that you hear the chatter of human beings socializing and engaging in active transportation (happy) instead of the hum of engines and the rattle of automobiles (angry).

We're looking forward to seeing my sister on Veteran's Day weekend (less than 3 weeks)!  We're heading up to Santa Barbara, can't wait.
