livingdebNothing in particular comes to mind as a good topic to write about today, so I'll just tell you a bunch of little things.
We had spectacular weather today. This morning it was foggy, which is rare here and which I don't have to worry about because I don't have to drive in it. So all the trees were well framed. And there was a mild, wonderful-smelling breeze, like evergreens. And it's right near the peak of fall color right now. We actually have some brilliant reds and yellows as well as some rich dark reds and plenty of oranges and browns.
Also, it's deliciously warm. Just perfect for wearing long sleeves.

I no longer enjoy work party food as much as I once did. I'm much more conscious of the probable fact that virtually none of the foods belong on a diet of no hydrogenated fats or totally processed grains. And a lot of it just isn't as yummy as what I can make myself and seems not quite worth the calories. So sad.

The CSS validator at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ sure has a lot of warnings nowadays. Even though my new page was valid, I still had six pages of warnings to go through. I mostly got ones about dangerous possibilities that the font color and background color might match. I added some redundancies to my code to make it obvious that this could never happen except in the one case where I want it to happen. (It's the link where blind people can skip all the stuff in the navigation bar that they've probably heard a million times already. So no one needs to see it.) I got it down to about ten lines of warnings referring to I think five lines of code, to each of which I added an explanation so the next person who looks at it understands. I have very heavily commented CSS code.
**
I learned that turning off the heat when you first add the ramen noodles and expecting them to cook anyway works well for me, even though I like my noodles overcooked.
**
I saw my dentist this week. I didn't get my numbers measured, but there was much less scraping, especially at the gum line. Basically, it was a fantasy cleaning. I actually mentioned this to the lady, and she said my gumline was fine except in one spot. I still wonder if maybe the difference is that she's new.
I asked if she's seen anyone who didn't need any scraping at all. She said yes. One. People had warned her that she wouldn't find anything on this one guy, and she looked hard and couldn't. So, it's possible!

You may not hear from me tomorrow because I have five activities to slide in. First, two games of winter league ultimate frisbee. Second, a game and puzzle and juggling party. Third, a housewarming party that is also a prelude to R's company party. Fourth, R's company party. Fifth, post-party party at one of the hotel rooms (we probably won't make it to this one).
I read somewhere that most companies that are throwing parties are having them this week, and my data supports that.
