In Red Bluff, right at the beginning of Route 36 that takes you to Lassen, there was a sign that said "Lassen Highway Through Park Closed Beyond Park Entrance". I kept going anyway. Don't believe everything you read.

I stopped by a barbecue today, no one I knew except for my friends Greg and Karen, and talked for a little bit with an outgoing five-year old (sorry, five and a half). Well, I thought she was outgoing; it could be I'm just normally intimidating and had an off day. Nice chat, if hampered by her not knowing multiplication.

A couple of good people have told me I'd be a good father; I tend to think so, and I think that adventure is ahead of me someplace. I don't know if I feel that way because I want it, because I think it's generally the right thing to happen, or both...we can call things to happen in our lives, by how we move in the world...

I did a necklace today, this time with a stone. I'm not completely happy with it, but I'm a harsh critic. It does show that I'm getting much better, which is gratifying.

Huh, a mood just flew by. I wonder what it was.
