This beautiful January weather we’re having (trust me, rest of country) has coincided with an extremely busy couple of weeks. All Saints’ hosted a conference last week for which I ran sound and tech. It was fun, just long days (after getting home, had other clients to catch up on, all that). We’ve also received some news about my grandmother’s health these past few days… kind of in a holding pattern right now as we wait for more news.
Managed to go to see Brokeback Mountain sometime last week — Utah, you don’t know what you’re missing — and ate at a fun Korean BBQ place over the weekend. Also, running sound at the conference means I got to be around people while I was busy, which was nice. Even chatted with some folks, got to know the people I worked with, made new friends. Nice working like that.
Still, it all adds up to exhaustion if you’re not careful — so I believe Thursday morning will be a surf day. Mid-morning is supposed to see some amount of swell in case anyone wants to meet at Ocean Park.
A few weeks ago, I noticed that my car’s front tire treads were looking a bit thin. I wondered if there was a simple way to test before going to buy 2 new tires.
Anne remembered something about a penny and some sort of test… anyway, she searched and found this: Bridgestone Penny Tire Tread Test.
So turns out I really need to go buy 2 new tires. If you’re traveling over the holidays, this test could be helpful.
The second link today is from my sister Laura. As part of her job, she attended baseball’s winter meetings. Her blog has a cool story about it and a very cool photo of her with White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen. It’s so cool to see what she’s doing and how well she is doing it! Click here for the story and a photo of LW and Ozzie.
