stopping first to post on facebook got me out of Valentine's Day. it is wonderful having friends who take me out for yummy persian food tonight. thanks guys. it was wonderful. including lumps of sugar to drink tea through. my father had a russian word for it: prekuska. it was fun. now that i'm home, ketzl wants to go outside but it is very cold and windy out. tomorrow morning.
got stuff done around the house. never enough. nice to be home this weekend. going up to see Elinor on Monday and then the group will get together at Elephant Bar. don't want a monday evening to go to waste.
carolyn and i had a great time. talked nonstop for 6 hrs, i got to hear a brief piece on the viola de gamba and she left at 8:15 am for stanford. yummy thai food too. got to introduce her to several new dishes which she can now try at the new thai restaurant up by her.
i might even look for some old valentines cards. there was the year when linda bought a pack of kids ones and put them all around at work and at home. it was all good except the one i didn't find that had a lollipop on it. gross.... maybe i'll get some valentines for monday night. good idea.
linda loved to celebrate all events. valentine's day, birthdays, anniversaries. marking dates. the cycle of the year. the change of seasons. the passage of time. celebrating being together.

ketzl really wants to go out but it is too late. 12:12 AM. does that count as a padiddle? that's when you show up for a kiss. :~)
