More Homecomings

Aidan and Zaira came home late last night, so most of the gang is here now. Peter planning to drive up Tuesday or so. Hope to see him tomorrow for brunch.

At work I am once again in charge of supervising the weekly TV news show, which is something I like being a part of. I'm not really a TV person per se but I learn a lot being around the crew in the control room and talking with the guests in the Green Room and after the show.

It's chilly here with the rain looking to be on the way. the good news this month is we have gotten a lot of snow in the northern Sierra, which is the most important source of our water throughout the year (Inot rain or groundwater.

The snows melt in spring and summer and flow down into reservoirs -- this is how California channels its water from, in San Francisco's case, the Hetch Hetchy all the way to the coast. It looks like the next storm may be Sunday or sooner.

Got almost all my Christmas shopping to do still, and feeling the pressure. But also looking forward to being with family and celebrating the holiday. I intent to work a light schedule the next two weeks -- only 7 of the 10 days with shortened hours. Hope to oredr gifts this weekend!
