On Monday night I headed down to Yoshi’s San Francisco to have dinner with my local cousin Brendan and visiting cousin Audrey. They are both cousins from my father’s side, and while I have seen Brendan since moving here, it had been 5 years since I’d seen Audrey. It was a lovely sushi dinner with good company, and we even got a photo so we could show our families that we actually got together!

Last night I hosted the 4th San Francisco Ubuntu Hour and was delighted to have 7 people show up for our little gathering. There was some great discussion and a lot of support for my idea of having our next Hour in November just prior to a Bay Area Debian meeting, so it sounds like that’s the plan we’ll be going with.

And now, since today is my 29th birthday, I’m wrapping up work early for the day and getting ready to head down to the San Francisco Zoo. I completely managed to miss the meerkats last time because I forgot that they were in the Children’s Zoo section of the zoo, so I have to see them, plus the penguin feeding at 3:30. Tonight I asked MJ to surprise me with the venue for a birthday dinner together, I’m very much looking forward to that :)
