rowanfBack on Wednesday, the last day of my conference, I awoke bright and early and packed up. I had about half an hour before the keynote so I walked down and got the Harbor View cache. I think I've managed to get at least one a day since my cacheversary. I went to the double session on wikis in libraries. I thought the Biz Wiki http://www.library.ohiou.edu/subjects/bizwiki/index.php/Main_Page was a pretty interesting example.

I had lunch with Lise on the wharf and then headed off to Moss Landing and grabbed a couple of caches and stopped at Phil's where I had intended to get some lobster fettucine to-go for me and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
saffronrose but alas, they didn't have any. I had hoped to grab a couple of caches in Gilroy on the way home but my pocket query didn't seem to have them and all a had was a map... no coords. *sigh*
I met Russell, Kurt & Marina at Spiedo to have dinner before K&M and I went to Moonlight & Magnolias at San Jose Rep. The play is about the writing of Gone with the Wind and there is a special show of GwtW Saturday & Sunday at noon at Camera 12. It is a nice tie in. The play was very funny and the guy who played David O. Selznick was great.
Thursday I was back at work getting caught up. At lunchmr_kurt and I grabbed a couple of caches, getting me to 575. Russell was out visiting Pismo Beach with Erika and I sat around trying to get the hang of Second Life. I went to a talk on Tsunamis but it wasn't really very interesting and I find the chat format hard to follow. I overlapped with Scarlotti for a bit and we tried out a dance club. It is strangely fun to see your avatar waltzing around.
Friday I ran errands and watched a bunch of Buffy episodes. I am trying to be as lazy as possible in anticipation of possibly being crazy busy if I get the URI position.
Kurt & I went up to the Skylab party and played blackjack and saw a number of friends. The party seating was very game-oriented and there wasn't any place to sit and visit. I would have liked to talk to some of the folks a good bit more. I haven't played blackjack in ages and that was pretty fun.
Today I'm getting ready for tonight's Samhain ritual. I hope to see some friends there too!
