Holidays

I used to volunteer to take care of people's pets over the holidays so I would have something to do.  Now I get paid for it.  Progress?  Not really.  Next year -- volunteer at a food sharing program.

The view from Mira Mesa

Mira Mesa - commonly maligned as crowded, dense and 'too ethnic' has gorgeous views early in the morning of mountains to the east and north.  The sky was colorful - early morning hues left over from the dawn - and the sunlight reflecting off of the clouds lit up the freshly washed trees and yards.  At the house where I was, the rain had brought out the scents of the chaparral in the canyon.  A beautiful morning.
