Happy Thanksgiving!

Diane and I walked the Silicon Valley Turkey Trot this morning for the 12th consecutive year (of course, 2020 and 2021 were virtual events); the weather was almost perfect, and we had a good time walking through downtown San Jose with about 15,000 of our close personal friends.

In other not-very-exciting news, I took advantage of Best Buy’s Black Friday sale and bought what seems to be my annual Samsung T7 SSD yesterday. It cost $100 ($10 more than the one I bought last year), but it’s twice as big (2TB instead of 1TB). Now I can back up my computers and migrate them to Sonoma. Progress!

Empty Nesters Again

We took Jeff to SFO today and he’s back in Boston.

Instead of coming straight home from the airport, we drove up to Golden Gate Park and visited the SF Botanical Garden and the Conservatory of Flowers. Here are a few photos from the day.

And now we’re home and it’s very quiet.
