Weekend

The boy and I are about to go to the 3 Science on Saturday lecture in Livermore for middle and high school students. We missed the first because the Man and I signed up for a meditation class - that's a story for another day. And it was, as usual, a battle getting him to go to the one last week but he is now enlightened. Willingly, he will go to this one. The 3rd of 5 put on by the world famous Livermore Labs. And today, the topic is: Avoiding Armageddon: Diverting Asteroids with Nuclear Explosives. Sounds like something we need to pay attention to. Who knows what may come crashing down on us tomorrow. Maybe even today.

I hope we get there early enough to get seats. Last week, we were turned away and had to stand at the corridor trying hard to stare at a 32" plasma tv of the lecture listening through crappy car stereo type speakers while other teens who similarly could not gain admittance were talking nineteen to the dozen. Fortunately, the usher inside found 3 extra seats and I quickly pushed the Half Man in his face. Hence the enlightenment. Today, I hope to find mine.

Tomorrow, we will have dinner with the Lais, Tans, et al, at the Silva's. Ahh... Good food and even better company.
