Needs Cleaning

Sometimes when I use the restroom at CSUN, I have to remind myself, "You survived the pit latrines of the Serengeti; you can survive this, too."

Picnic Time

We took advantage of the lovely weather Easter Sunday to go for a scenic drive. We took Angeles Crest Highway from La Cañada/Flintridge to Palmdale, stopping along the way for a picnic lunch. It was around 85° Fahrenheit in the Valley. As we gained elevation, the temperature dropped, but even at the highest point (9000 feet or so) it was never colder then 58° F.

We could see snow on the distant mountains, but didn't expect to find it still on the ground along our route. Our picture was snapped by a friendly tourist, dressed in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt.

Tough Choices

I can remember many occasions on which I have filled out forms or responded to surveys that asked the question "Sex?" with the choices M and F. But in the modern academic world that is not quite the way it is done any more. Today I filled out a survey for CSUN that asked me, "With which gender do you identify?" followed by three choices: Male, Female, Other.

In the Meantime

While I'm scrolling through the digital photos of my most recent stroll through the neighborhood, I hope you'll take a look at my other blog, For Better - Or What? It's all about giving and receiving love and forming a closer connection with your spouse. The location is www.forbetterorwhat.com.
