Greetings from Mountain View, California!

Morning two, here with Judith and Christine and the three Grey Boys (kitties: Grey Beard, Grey Brother and the impetuous Romeow), has dawned! I am enjoying my time here visiting and seeing their home. Yesterday, Baby Sandvik and I learned all about the history of computers at the Computer History Museum. It was fascinating! My favorite peices of new knowledge surround the 1890 census which really got the computer building industry growing and the Kitchen Recipe Computer featured in the Neiman Marcus catalogue (number sold... 0). It had the delightful tag, "If only she can cook as well as Honeywell can compute..." Thannnnks. It took about a week's worth of programming training to work it and at that time you could hire a "domestic" to cook for you for the price of the Kitchen Compute. We had a wonderful dinner out at Shiva's, which kicked off a hiccuping spell for the wee one. Evidently, he has inherited his father's love of spicy food and the resulting hiccups! :) Today we are off to Half Moon Bay to walk the shore and, me thinks, test out some local food! Mmmmmm!!
