A note about the labels

You may have noticed that I started adding topic labels to my posts. The idea here is that you will be able to click on one like "Minnesota" and all of the posts about Minnesota will be magically laid out in front of you. I'm hoping this organization will eventually make my archives more useful and accessible. But keep in mind the labels are not yet complete. I've been working my way back in time, reading my existing posts and summarizing them with keywords, but the going is slow. It will probably be another week or two before the process is complete. Just wanted to give you that heads up in case you picked up on any gaps in my history.

P.S. It's raining outside.

Hello rain

It's drizzling this morning. California isn't always sunny, you know. There might be some moisture in the air every four months or so. I don't want you to think we're becoming too spoiled out here. Luckily, I'm pretty sure the weather will clear up this afternoon so we can head down to the avocado festival...
