First day of snow, but a good day
There's a nice amount of snow falling, but none on the ground yet (it's all melting). I suspect that even if some accumulates today, it will be gone very soon. Yesterday during the day it was warm enough to wear a t-shirt.
Today is my first Monday at home in seven weeks! It feels very very nice. I'm still crazy busy, but at least now I can take some time to do some things that I really need to do: banking, system administration, web development etc. I'm planning on putting up a professional blog on my Berteig Consulting Inc. web site about various agile and lean things that I learn in my consulting engagements.

Time with Friends
Last night Christian and I went to the Cheesecake Factory in Richmond for a dinner with two friends we have made in the Baha'i community here. It was a great time: serious amounts of laughter. They both have a sense of humor that is remarkably similar to ours: irony, cynicism, absurdity, and meta-humor. We spent a lot of time laughing about digressions in our conversations. We had a good laugh about determining if Earth-religions were pre-Adamic or extra-Adamic as part of a much larger discussion about diversity in the Baha'i community. And I didn't eat all my cheesecake because, regrettably and unusually, it sucked.

Selling the Elmvale House
So it looks like we're finally making a deal to sell the Elmvale house. It's not in writing yet, but the buyer has verbally confirmed that the deal is good. I'll post details once it's all finalized. The Elmvale house has lots of memories: Haifa was born there, Melanie and I went on our (first?) pilgrimage from there, Alexei filmed "The Perfect Divorce" there, Oomind was attempted there, and Troba tested us there.
