I’ve decided to follow Loobylu’s lead on this. After all, when have you ever seen her do anything that didn’t look like loads of fun?

Hot:

1. Open Studios! Brian’s were this past weekend. It was a bit chilly, but great having all the work out, and having people tromping through. Plus, a spider built a web that went just perfectly with Brian’s latest sculpture. Photos to come.

2. Visiting Aunties! This was my aunt Ruby’s first time in San Francisco. She was only out for the weekend, so most of her visit was spent hanging out around the studio, but we managed to squeeze some fun in, including an expedition to:

3. Alcatraz! It’s really the prettiest view of San Francisco you’ll ever see. And we even saw a harbor seal frolicking beside our boat on the way home. The tour is a bit grim, but I think it’s fascinating. Military history! Prison history! Native American History! Add WWII, and you’d have an afternoon’s programming on the History Channel.

EDITED TO ADD::
Not:

HEADCOLDS. I’ve had this one over a week. I’m coughy, my sinuses hurt like a mofo, and I it’s got me so scatterbrained I forgot to add a ‘not’ section to my blog post for nigh onto 14 hours. Boo, common cold virus!
