We just found out the news that Richard got a promotion at Technicolor to the VFX (Visual Effects) department. He's really thrilled about it...no more of those horrible night shifts, he gets to learn a number of new computer languages...and eventually get his name in the credits for films he's worked on.
Way to go, Richard, you always manage to pull thesw things off!
Funny we should be in Sacramento now, a place where Richard worked in the computer industry for a while and made some very good friends. We're off to Ashland today and have tickets for "A Winter's Tale"...might be very appropriate as it's rather cold around here. Looking forward to seeing Ashland again and seeing a play...it's been close to 20 years since we've done that.
Wind blew in our last night in Santa Barbara so had dinner on the pier by a window and did some storm watching while quaffing clam chowder and steak and lobster. A good way to end our stay on the coast.
As much as we enjoyed seeing these CA costal areas again I think we have become desert rats. It's really just not warm enough on the coast at this time and it's very busy and expensive even though it's off season. We'll spend all our time down here in the desert next time.
P.S. BTW, those funny little birds are called Sanderlings
