House sitting

This week I'm house-sitting (and cat-sitting) for a co-worker at Xerox who is on a cruise with his wife. They have a nice house -- way better than my apartment. Here are a couple of things that I wanted to share with you.

The Irrational Clock

All the numbers are irrational numbers.

In the upstairs bathroom I found this gem.

Jesus Band-Aids made me laugh. Perfect for cuts, scrapes, locust bites or other minor boo-boos.

I've been in Oregon for four months and haven't been to the beach yet. This is MLK weekend, so Kathy came to visit. (The free airline ticket and the fact that I'm house-sitting in a nice house, instead of my "stinky" apartment helped.)

It was a grey day. A steady drizzle of rain almost all day. Not really great photos, but here's what it looked like.
