We had our 10th wedding anniversary last month (June 21). We celebrated by going to Mudds (San Ramon) with a few friends. Mudd’s is a *really* nice restaurant, a block or so away from Crow Canyon Road in San Ramon. Really excellent food, and much of the produce and herbs, etc. are grown on the premises. I highly recommend it, and it is totally worth the drive. We had a somewhat small gathering, Miche and I, Jeff and Laura, Corrii, Darren, and John. Darren and John were also at our wedding 10 years ago, so I was happy they were able to make it. I know there are others of you who would have liked to be there, but we will make it up to you soon… I’m actually glad we had kind of a small group. ...

This is an interesting (and LONG) article on low fat vs low carb diets. My reaction is here…

I have done battle with the AC and won. It is now running and the temp in the front room has gone from 78.1 to 75.6 in about an hour. Anyway, the effect is not instantaneous, but it may keep the room cooler than the outside. (Usually it is the reverse.) I know I have not written in a while. Sorry about that. I have been a bit distracted with work, and with anniversaries and weddings and stuff. I’ll try to recap some of the things that have happened in the last month or so. ...

We had a brief power outage here at the house. Charon was not on UPS due to previous stupidity that I delayed fixing, but it seems to have come back up OK. Poly was on UPS, its uptime is 356 days. If you notice anything wrong with either of them, let me know. You can email me, or if you are a LJ friend you can use my userinfo page here to page me.

After making some rolls for myself and M night before last, I had a LOT of ingredients left, so we descended on friends L and J last night, bearing sushi ingredients, and made a whole mess of rolls. Everything turned out good. The rice was not 100% done enough, but the difference here was subtle. Now I REALLY want to have an actual sushi party with lots more people and share the joy :) ...

New picture! It is not a great picture but it shows off my new summer haircut. This is mostly so that those of you who know me won’t scream when you see me. Bigger version here.

I have added some friends to my friends page. Welcome back :) I have set up some groups that allow me to watch some friends’ journals and not others, depending on my mood at the time. So if you’re on my friends list, I may or may not be reading your journal religiously, but you will still have access to any friends-only posts I have made (though these are rare). ...
