Many thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! It was all in all a very quiet day, with an out-to-lunch with my boss, and an out-to-dinner at the German place in Stone Mtn. with the beau, followed by watching Lost.

I got an nigh-unto-Christmas-like load of loot, too, which was a nice surprise. :-)

I was just quoted "around $1,800" by my Saturn dealership to replace a timing belt and spark plugs.

No, seriously.

My car just hit 100k, and that's the recommended service. I'm a little suspicious (!) that they might be overcharging me here, though.

I must have this.

I've decided I'm going to add a second kind of cookies, in addition to good old chocolate chip, to bring to SOLAR events. What should I make?

It's sleeting.

Today, not so much

Misty grey skyline
