We took care of 'Barnet the Fish' (Bonny's red betta - his name is actually Luke the Fish, but Becca renamed him 'Barnet') while my folks were up visiting Uncle Bill in Washington. Betta food really stinks.

We went 'saleing' (i.e., shopping at garage sales) at the annual Hidden Valley garage sale. We scored a free coffee table and lots of great cookbooks, Dr. Suess and other books, videos (including "Lord of the Dance", "Charlie's Angels", and "The Mummy"), some good clothes, and some kitchen paraphernalia, all for under $20. Nice.

Attended a Primary teacher leadership meeting earlier in the morning, and watched Becca and Jared Johnson play ball and run around. Came home and had a tasty peanut butter and honey sandwich (the honey is from one of those honey bears, except our came with a broken lid).

A couple nights ago, we had a pizza, wings, and Mug Root Beer dinner with Alice and Maite Garate (up visiting family from Arizona). The funny thing is that I also had an A&W Root Beer on the same day at our company's staff BBQ, but that's three different brands of root beer I've ingested within a week (also had IBC two posts ago). We watched "A Knight in Camelot" (Whoopi Goldberg) while we ate.

Well, I watched with interest the East Coast's electrical blackout, but it seems kind of random, and there's really not a whole lot I guess I can say about it. Of more interest was a "Music of the 80s" infomercial with ex-MTV VJ Martha Quinn. The collection has quite a few great songs from that decade, and it was cool to hear some of them that I'd forgotten.

I updated some info on the two Prince Edward Islands in the world (see my 'weird geography' page). I was a little disappointed that the Marion Island webcam wasn't working.

We finally found the "Starry Night" geocache (39° 23' 0.85" N, 119° 42' 18" W) on our second attempt and after a little more careful studying of the map.

In between saleing, we went to lunch at Chevy's with Monica Velasquez and several Intuit people. I was disappointed, however, because the tortilla chips were cold and they didn't have strawberry lemonade (so had to settle for regular lemonade). Cathy Hill was there and we found out she's going to be in our new ward. Kari Bonnano was there, too, and her little baby is so cute and little!
