The Big Trip
Nora's off to California today for her big trip!

Her best friend Hallie moved there in the middle of the last school year, to San Clemente on the beach. Nora gets a week's vacation with her, then Hallie is coming back here for a bit on the return flight.

Disneyland, days at the pool, evenings at the beach, but most importantly time with a good friend. We like Hallie very much, and were all sad when she left.

DV is right. The GNOME lists have become hugely time-consuming right now. I can't bring myself to unsubscribe from anything, but I'm hitting the delete key an awful lot these days.

Lots of other good progress going on though. The docs style guide is getting quite close to its first public airing.

The areas of bugzilla.gnome.org I've been focusing on are about as cleaned up as I can get them. And some new folks showed up there working bugs overnight, so I'm quite pleased. I hope things are getting clean and orderly enough that the maintainers can actually make use of bugzilla to keep track of things in their packages, which is bugzilla's real purpose.

I've also gotten back to the gnome-db2html3 xslt stuff, which is fun but quite challenging for me. Learning new stuff.....
house
The living room is bereft of furniture, as Lissa sands the floor. The wood's original look is coming out, and it's going to be lovely. But the poor dog. She is a creature of habit, and that habit is laying on her puffy bed in the living room. Lissa put a sheet out over the sanded part so we wouldn't spill or tread on it, and Sadie lays on that, looking quite forlorn.
