gathering some light, and a few nephews

Last night, I met with some fellow "Making Light" commentators in the Bay Area's Mountain View. Dawno couldn't make it, because of work, but I met Kathryn from Sunnyvale and Brad, her Significant Other. Also present were Terry Karney and, directly from Ottawa, Canada, Marna Nightingale. It was a wonderful evening, and not just the part where a lady told me I'm one of the better-looking Older Men she's met.

Vain, moi?

Today at the office wasn't particularly productive, as it consisted more of meetings and, when not meeting, answering requests for information and/or help. I also gave a presentation on a project I'm proud of. Alas, technical difficulties kind of undermined the awesomeness of my work.

Vain, moi?

Tonight though, I had dinner with my sisters-in-law, the hubby of one of them, and with my three nephews. At some point I mentionned the TV series "Dexter" to the grownups, which led my 8-year-old nephew to ask what that was. I succinctly explained that it was about a serial killer who only kills serials killers. I was quite impressed by his answer, given with a smile.

"How come he doesn't kill himself?"
