BrainStream: Last week was a crazy

Last week was a crazy week. Wednesday night I trekked up to Portland Maine to catch a Catie Curtis and Dar Williams concert with the friend from my high school days who introduced me to them and her wife.

Then I sped back to the house so I could get some work done in the morning. Absolutely fabulous time. Portland is a gorgeous place with Victorian houses everwhere. Though I was up pretty late, it was nice to do something different for a change.

I got my hairs cut, bought the digital camera the wife and I have been promising ourselves for our birthdays this past Spring, and got my Christmas present from Kirky early. I spent the day prepping my MP3s to go onto the Nomad Jukebox - it has to charge for 12hrs straight so I couldn't take it to work. But it's got these nifty headphones that wrap around the back of the head and curl over the ears. They're also pretty damn good considering how small and light they are.

Last week was the week for new toys. I also got an AudioVox CDM-9000 Tri-Mode digital phone for work. We switched from VoiceScream to Verizon because they kept shutting us off.

All of this is in preparation for heading out West to have Thanksgiving with my brother-in-law and his wife as well as my father-in-law's side of the family. His house backs up into a Girl Scout camp. It's closed for the season, and there's a LOT of woods to visit and enjoy. It's gorgeous out here and a nice contrast to Boston.

BrainStream: As I mentioned in the

As I mentioned in the previous post, I am visiting Kirky's family in California. Well, it's more beautiful than I could have imagined. Armed with the new digital camera, I've taken many pictures, the first of which are in this gallery with more to come.

Enjoy.
