(no subject)

Mother's Day starting with the dishwasher short-circuiting rather spectacularly, but ended with my brother and sis-in-law coming down for dinner, which was nice. I learned that my brother is apparently some kind of grinning freak-of-nature ninja, which is terribly amusing. I have this mental image now of him grinning like the Joker as he goes after someone with a wooden knife (he has apparently done just this). It's always the quiet ones.

Otherwise.... things have been a bit up and down, but starting to come back up. Though I could have done without the exploding dishwasher. I'm sad I missed the chat; hopefully next week :( (and last week was Beltane, so I was in Alameda all evening).
