As part of selling the house, we had a roofer come to inspect some minor damage today. Before he went on the roof, I handed him my camera and asked him to take photos for us so we could see for ourselves. Here he shows us Daniel’s kite, which died several days ago. I like the photo; it shows the neighborhood at an angle we never see.
And not to mourn Daniel’s kite too much. We have two new ones that are just fine.
Jogging, Twitter and Posting on the New Server
April 21st, 2011
So, this is what I do when I have some free time in the morning – jog! You’ll have noticed if you look at the right column on the blog, where I run my twitter feed. I haven’t really had a good idea of what I might use twitter for in the future, but for the moment it’s allowing me to track my jogging accurately.

Kite Flying
April 17th, 2011
Gabi flies the dragon kite
We’ve resurrected an old hobby and started flying kites again. We don’t have to go far — just the cul-de-sac in front of our house. The desert in the inland parts of California heat up in the springtime, making air rise. The cooler air from the ocean is sucked in from the west. Temecula is at a sweet-point between the two, and we have reliable, strong afternoon breezes. Note: Temecula is only about fifteen miles from the coast as the bird flies. Driving will take you an hour due to intervening terrain.
