The scrapes and scratches on the walls are invisible in this picture, which shows the front door from the perspective of the room in which one would formally eat on major holidays and which would otherwise be unused.

Kitchen
It is truly pathetic that I don't understand how to use flickr. Really, pathetic. And yet--I have to wonder--if it's hard for me, can they really be perfect for the audience they intend to reach? (And yes, my keyboard is still short a critical letter. It interferes with all work to try to think around it.)

Must make decision

I have to decide what to do about the broken keyboard. It limits me and annoys me not to be able to actually type on this computer. I won't use my work computer to write of personal matters, but one missed key and two troubled keys makes it impossible to communicate the way I'd like to. But what to do? A new computer just feels like an expense to skip, and an effort not to make. That said, I'm sad that I did not write about our trip to Santa Cruz, our school search, or any of the other stuff that we've done lately.

Almost history
We almost went to the Obama rally on Monday. As I told my boy, he can tell his grandchildren that he waited in line for three hours to hear Obama speak and then just not mention that we didn't actually hear him.
It was actually kind of fun to be downtown in the midst of the big crowd. According to one article I read, it took a full hour to walk from one end of the line to the other. Wow. There were around 60000 people there and only the first 20000 made it into the area where Obama was speaking. I wish I could find some pictures online to see what it was like on the inside. Instead, I've got some pictures of the line.
