Eric and Brenda

Our friends, Eric and Brenda, visited over the weekend and man, was it good to see them! We kept ourselves busy--actually, maybe a little too busy--checking out Sacramento and then hanging out in San Francisco all day Sunday. Strolling around Midtown, chasing squirrels at the Capital Building, and walking out on the Golden Gate Bridge were all very cool things to do, but the best thing of all for us was to see them. We're so thankful to have friends like Eric and Brenda and that it worked out for us to see them so soon after moving to Sacramento. Thanks for coming up, guys! We had a really nice time with you!!!

The Bathroom Window

For first-time visitors to my granparent's home, the bathroom window is just plain creepy, and I suppose that remains a true statement for the rest of us as well. Between the two bathrooms upstairs lays this window that is obviously some kind of an architectural fluke; light from the adjacent bathroom shines in through this fogged window in the otherwise windowless bathroom. And don't get me wrong, it's nice to have light, of course, but light also has the tendency to reflect or shadow certain objects. When both bathrooms are occupied, you'll see something like this:

Ewww! It's a silhouette of a person. "Can that person see me?" "Wait a second, I recognize who that is." "Are they peeing?" "Oh, my god. Did they just get out of the shower? He/ she is naked!" Yes, these are only some of the things you might think when using the upstairs bathrooms.

So, Farah and I decided to have a little fun and did this:

And now a look from the other side:

Is it just us or is this window, perhaps, a little misplaced?

I don't know about you but this just freaks me out!

Back On-line!

We're finally back on-line (and with cable TV) as of this morning, and I posted some pics of our new place on my site for those of you who are interested in seeing what everything looks like. I can't say much now because I'm pressed for time; Farah has me going to the store to buy bamboo and some other funky stuff for dinner tonight while she is at work. Yes, she got a job!! I will explain more as soon as I can. We're having a friend over for dinner tonight so I have to take care of some things before Farah gets home.... Gotta go!! BYE for now. :)
