In case you wondered if I fell off the planet, the answer is no. Still here, still fine. I've been in Daly City watching the wonder dog Hannah while her masters have been out celebrating a wedding anniversary. Rain, rain, more rain all weekend, except yesterday when it was sunny enough to take the dogs to the park and run them. Unlike 99% of the people on the west coast, I haven't tired of the rain yet. I must have been somewhere else when California got all the rain this year because it seems as if I have only seen about 10 days worth of bad weather. Since I definitely do not suffer from that seasonal personality disorder, where you get all depressed in the winter because of the lack of sunlight, I still like the dark, gloomy winter days. True, it is spring now, not winter, and it will be summer very soon but it has not yet arrived.
Off to the foothills to visit my Mom for a couple of days, helping her clean out some of the accumulated junk that has grown up like moss in her small apartment. I will be back in touch after that, providing there is something salient to say.
Recommendation: "Luther", a short-seasoned BBC drama about a police inspector who gets the really difficult and nasty cases. Only 6 or 7 episodes but if you are a Netflix subscriber you can watch it instantly on your computer or, if you have the appropriate hardware and software, on your TV. It's a good show, sometimes a little creepy in the crime department but the characters are excellent, the writing is very good, and it just drops you into the show from the get-go, no back story, no explanation. As in all good foreign drama, you must watch and think and work a little bit to stay on top of it. Check it out.
OK, hitting the road now.
