Me: Honey, please hold still a moment so I can get a picture of you trying on cold-weather clothes.
Rose: Huh? What?
Me: Yeaaaaah, that'll work :-)
Many, many years ago I used to lug a Toshiba "portable" two blocks from my Waller Street digs to The People's Café. I wrote a scathing article (online, in the nascent days of the web) about the poor engineering which caused me to undo 17 screws to get at the hard drive. (That must have been about 1994-5, judging from this ECIFFO interview, in which I'm using my first Apple laptop, the "PowerBook 170".)
Well, fifteen years later I'm forced to undo 21 screws to get at the hard drive of my MacBook Pro. What a shameful bit of engineering design fail.
MILK, the movie, has opened at the near-by Castro Theater. I hear it was quite a mob scene, full of joy and sadness.

Ahhh, the holiday season is in full swing. While some places tossed out their Christmas decorations the day *before* Thanksgiving, more restrained places waited until the beginning of the month. Here's a café in which I work some days. The coffee is great and the Wi-Fi is wide.
A dearth of volunteers has us signing up for the spaghetti dinner fund-raiser, but when we arrive we see it's fully-staffed. We had a (real) chef on hand to make an awesome Caesar-like salad dressing.
Zofia, Rose, and Dad peruse the pickings at the school book fair fund-raiser.
At long last, at the appointed time, we have our turn at dinner. Bubbie's arrived, and Isaac takes our new cheapie point-and-shoot camera out for a spin. I just replaced the batteries on my Yema «Bipôle Duopoly» wristwatch... reasonably indestructable but dependent upon batteries; so close :-/
