Friday and HBO's Deadwood

Today the Kitten Posse went to the Spa on the Island, which pretty much consumed my imagination.  It was a good day at work - nice, quiet, easy, productive.  Don and I had lunch at Black Angus in Milpitas, then I wandered home a little early.

I'd ordered a pair of cross-trainers through Amazon, since none of the local stores had my size (11 Wide) in the brand of New Balance cross-trainers that I wanted.  They arrived today and they fit well. I tried them on and spent most of the evening walking around in them to test them out.

For the last couple of weeks I've been wanting to re-watch an HBO classic - "Deadwood".  I started this afternoon and am working my way through the first three DVD's this evening.  That is an excellent series.  We'll see if I can get all the way through the set this weekend - or perhaps Season 1 this weekend and Season 2 the next.

I am looking forward to the weekend, hoping it is going to be slow and easy, like this evening is.

Demon Cat!

 

Last Friday, as I made my way through the day, I was over at Bob's house, visiting.  His cat, Oni, was curled up on top of the cat stand.  I had walked over and was petting Oni and took out my Blackberry to take a close up picture.  Just as I lined the shot up she yawned.  This is the result.  It looks like she is hissing and baring her fangs, but in reality, it was one of those giant cat yawns that they are so capable of.

I had a wonderful conversation with T.R. last night.  She and the Kitten Posse are winding up their Island Adventure this week.  It's be a great month for them and I've definitely been envious more than once.  Life has the capacity to take us on amazing journeys, if we let it, if we embrace them.

Work was pretty simple today, as we are in a sort of breathing spot while we re-plan and re-schedule the project we're working on.  I saw the first high level pass at the re-plan today and it was looking a lot more reasonable.  There are still a lot of details that need to be hammered out and I have a particular sensitive to dependencies, but all in all, it now is starting to look attainable.

This evening has been simple, iced coffee, seafood salad, cold tomato soup and "Warehouse 13" on the DVR. A pleasant way to move into the evening.
