November has been a tremendously busy birthday month. In addition to Steve's on the 16th, we've had another dozen or so to celebrate in November. The celebrations have ranged from a sunset sailboat ride to dinner parties, to an ice cold beer at a local bar- fun!
Speaking of fun- I got a new surfboard as part of a commission. It is amusing how much more excited I've been about the $900 board than I was about the much-higher value commission check- but it is tough to surf on a check (even tougher to deposit the board at the bank, I suppose).

The weather has been typically fantastic for November. Our seasonal rains are waning, the days are getting a little warmer, but still comfortable, offshore winds have started up, and the roads are getting some much needed repairs.

Jocelyn has a new studio in town- groovy, in that we now have a den instead of a workshop in our home, which means that the computers and camera junk and whatnot aren't in our main room anymore so it almost looks like a living space instead of a storeroom. The downside is that now we are feeling more and more inclined to buy more furniture and actually decorate the place, which adds substantially to our quality of life but is not so great for the pocketbook. Caly is enjoying Jocelyn's studio as well- there are a couple of friendly dogs who take their owners to work there and so far everyone seems to get along (both dogs and owners). Presumably there is some benefit to Jocelyn's business here too.... but I'll let her write about that.

Also in the camera this week- a police officer out for and evening stroll and one of the potted plants on our patio, catching sunset light.
