a quiet week

• july 4 barbecue with friends.  one guest remarked, only people in california bring beet salad to a barbecue.
  
• housewarming.  nice to see everyone!  it was also good motivation to clean the house.
• finished priming the back wall.  the wood soaked up 2 gallons of primer!  started applying color this week.  almost, almost done...
• finished zeitoun and what is the what.  i enjoyed both books!  very different from that  staggering genius book.
