Finished week 2 at Google (on contract). It's quite a relief to get a job where i'm given a task and am not micromanaged (even if all my various facets of existence within the Google hivemind have yet to fully coalesce, which hindered my ability to work until this Wednesday).  I've had to thrash against the limits of my ignorance yet, after establishing the initial parameters, managed to surpass obstacles on my own, needing only once to ask for clarification.

Plumbing and electric work on the new house is nearly done, which will allow us to insure it.  The garage at the current house has been obliterated and removed, and the dogs are greatly loving the new roaming grounds.  Memo hates shovels and, when faced with the Bobcat that remained overnight (the garage demolition took two days), felt that it was his duty to bite the largest shovel he'd ever seen.

Our grandson Elliott drew some capybaras during his last visit. They now grace our fridge.

Our son married his sweetie, who wore a dress made by my sweetie.

Marguerite is married to my mother-in-law's cousin.  She is even more delightful in person than this 35yo recipes writeup in the NYT describes.  We hope to see her and Gary soon.

It's fully baked COVID immunity day, kids!  And Sunday was our anniversary.  So tapas tonight.

Yesterday was our 25th date-iversary.

Also, for the first time, i made cheese as part of a work social event.

May Kim and i look so good in another thirty years.
