\"Vallejo<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the things we love about the Bay Area is the bridges. This pair span the Carquinez Straights, between Crockett and Vallejo. We don’t often cross these bridges, but thought that we’d revisit them, as they’re quite beautiful.<\/p>\n

Our house is gradually taking shape, with a piano delivered today. We’re still waiting for our things to arrive (as far as we can tell, they’re on a truck somewhere between Florida and California). We’re truly tired of having worn the same clothes for the past 5 months, and will enjoy having some different choices – hopefully sometime next week, our things will arrive.<\/p>\n

D. begins a new job, Monday, as a technical writer for a biotech company in Marin County. It’s not using his skills to the fullest, but it’s a foot in the door, and they’ve some plans to use his skills further, and hopefully it’ll be a long-term position.<\/p>\n

For the first time since we’ve been back in California, it rained! We were both quite happy with the rolls of thunder (T. thought it was someone taking out their trash cans) and the light rain. Our friends in Scotland have had rain nearly every day for the past 5 months, so we’re sure they’re nowhere near as happy at the idea of showers.<\/p>\n

T. has begun reading for the Cybils awards<\/a>, so has about 40 books to make it through this week, with possibly 100 more to arrive.<\/p>\n

All in all, we’re settling in, looking forward to meeting with the church choir tomorrow morning, and gradually getting used to the idea of being back in California.<\/p>\n
