Dense Metals and Crystalline Carbon

Valentine's day was a wonderful day.

We started it with juice in bed and an exchange of gifts. I got some cologne and lotions and soap, and Jennifer got jewelery.

Then we went for a hike in the Marin Headlands with the Sorrells. We had a great time with them, but didn't hike as far as we had planned due to major runoff at one trail branch. It wold have been extremely muddy, and slippery.

Then we came home and rested a bit, then got cleaned up for dinner. I surprised her with a roundabout drive to Nibbler's in Pleasant Hill. The food and pairings were wonderful. The best part was that at the end we were neither drunk, nor stuffed.

We did have a craving afterwards, so we stopped off in Walnut Creek for a shake and fries (Jennifer had a Shamrock), and we sat on Grizzly Peak and looked over the Bay. It was actually clear enough to see the lights of the Golden Gate Bridge and Sutro Tower.

Today we did not much around the house besides laundry, and I'm getting all set for the Oakland excavation to start tomorrow.

Happy Valentine's Day

And for the Babylon 5 fans, Happy Valen's Time Day.

Last night we were in Sonoma for Art from the Heart. the art wasn't anything special, but we got some wine from the auction. I'm looking forward to tasting it.

Today we're going to the Marin Headlands, and then back home to go out to dinner.
