So I went up to the East Bay for my doctor's appointment today. Gas is 20 cents cheaper there than it is where I live. Amazing how 30 miles can make such a big difference.

The clouds have been generous in the volume of rain they have been donating to the San Francisco area. Everything is green and beautiful when you can actually see out of the windows.

Badger had another baby, and mine came to work with me today after the doctor's appointment. It was fun having her there. My wife and I enjoyed the company-provided lunch pior to their departure.

Turns out you can get $5 from your old PlayStation controllers. I did. Lego Star Wars II doesn't come out until September. Final Fantasy XII? not any time soon. I was about to direct it toward a used game, but my wife called, pleading with me not to give in to the temptation. She is a good influence. I was one trip away from my own copy of ICO.

Now I have five dollars which I may or may not spend someday.
