LOL!! I have two days off this week in a row and use that time generally to re-charge my batteries in solitude - sometimes when I walk back into loud, brightly lit work after being home it is like being hit over the head.  How is the contracting work going?  Ok, I went to the Stanford Inn website and it does look really nice - a bit pricey but they probably have some specials if you look for them. It's a vegan place? Very NoCal!! Maybe we can go there on my next trip out - the kayaking sounds good. After the not-to-your-taste Vegas excursion I owe you the next pick!! You know I don't search it out but when it's available to me generally I like vegan food. I was in our uber-supermarket Wegmans yesterday and as part of their customer service the cashiers always ask "did you find everything you were looking for". I am having a MAJOR craving for carob anything - those little carob milkshakes health food places sell in CA, carab covered nuts, whatever. I asked the cashier if they had anything carob in the store and she went....."uhhh,.......care - obbbs?" Suffice to say no "care-obbs" in Wegmans. But they do now carry the McCann's steel cut oats (but I found some oatmeal I like better there with flax - love it).  A little bit of snow today. But I'm next to the warm lake - it's not even close to frozen over yet since it's been so mild my grass is still growing and there are roses on my plants -  My big plan is to finally rejoin the gym in the new year - I can barely move I am such a blob. It will be good to work out again -
