Early November is an awkward time. No holidays yet, too rainy to go hiking, not snowy enough to go skiing.

Two weeks ago I was in San Francisco a few days for a conference. I was quite busy, but I did have time to go for a few runs. It is hot there.

The weekend after Heather and I witnessed Ghostland Observatory for the 8th time. This time they had four LASERS. The next morning, Heather and David and I went to Steven's Pass to start our ski season. On the Thursday before, there was no snow, by Sunday there was well over 30 inches. We had a ball.

Yesterday it was another rainy day, so I tried installing Windows 7. There is some sort of graphics card driver conflict, so my monitor is displaying two screwed up versions of the desktop. I have been attempting to fix it using the "bang head against the wall" method.
