Our new digs … sunny and warm.
Nancy finished up a job in Tahoma while I did some errands. I wanted to go swimming, but the Truckee High School had a major renovation and the pool won’t be open for another month.
Our condo gets a lot of sun, and is so well insulated that we have yet to turn the heat on. That’s pretty amazing for Tahoe.
The living room has a gas fireplace, so I say, “Honey, could you build a fire?” and Nancy answers, “Sure, hon,” and flicks a switch on the wall.
“Thanks, hon.”
Portrait of a chocolate ’ho.
I took Nancy to the Tahoe Women’s Services Chocolate Festival for her birthday. The Chocolate Festival is an annual fundraiser for the local women’s shelter.
There was only half as much chocolate as last year, so it was twice as hard to eat yourself sick. In addition to the chocolate, it’s also a wine tasting, with an emphasis on Cabernet Sauvignons or anything resembling a Cab.
In addition to chocolate and wine, there is also chocolate wine. It’s called Chocolate Amore. The chocolate wine is interesting as a novelty–kind of like drinking wine flavored Nestle’s syrup–but I wouldn’t go out and buy a bottle.
Getting spanked at chess.
We only worked a couple of hours today after spending yesterday wrapping up the PUD. We wrapped up another house in Tahoe Donner, waited twenty minutes for the sheriff to respond to an alarm I accidentally set off, and then spread a bunch of rat poison at the Nelson’s to try to control the vole explosion.
Nancy has gotten into the chess game on my computer. She keeps playing, hoping to beat the computer, but I don’t see that happening in this lifetime.
