Under the (glorious) weather


Nate is a little sick today. We think it has everything to do with him unable to adjust to the manic nature of San Francisco weather. So, I'm sitting here at our new favorite cafe, Sacred Grounds (yeah, I know...), eating a peach and ginger scone with Colombia Supremo coffee. A nice after work mini-meal. (I need to save my appetite for our Stouffer's Chicen Parmagiana. Don't ask my why Stouffer's is getting all snooty about marketing their frozen meals - get over yourself, Stouffer's...it's Parmagian...there's not one decent Italian on the planet that's going to let you get away with using an authentic name.)
Moving right along...today I officially rejoined the American workforce. PG&E New Employment Orientation started at 8a.m. in San Ramon, about an hour east of San Francisco. It's gorgeous country, San Ramon - dark green rolling hills - all the evidence of the Bay Area's very wet rainy season.

I learned about gas and electric commodities, transmission and state regulation. All thrilling. The fact our company only "uses" 1% coal for energy resources is encouraging, but what's really in a statistic...I haven't completely chugged all the Kool-Aid.

G-Snap, I knew this was your post when I saw "glorious" in the title.
Miss you.
