Why, oh, why am I not at Wiscon?

I am waiting for my sister and cousin to arrive. Yesterday, we ate at Bodgas (tapas) and really enjoyed it. Last night we ate at JP's Bistro -- we had a great meal there too, although we were still stuffed from all the tapas we ate. They had a lotta trouble finding my house yesterday. They relied on maps from a not very intelligent website. Such are the curse of maps -- they blind us and make us lost.

Today we are going to assemble a picnic and see how far my aunt's batteries will get the chair. If they find the house this morning. If they found their way back to the Hyatt last night.

We also ran and caught a late showing of the Matrix Reloaded. There's an article in today's Times about it. Article.

There's a big article on photo blogs today as well. I suspect Drewan and Laurel might enjoy the article. The pancake bunny has a prominent picture. Article.

There's also a big article on falling grape prices in California. Apparently HiTech isn't the only bubble what burst. Article. Now if this would only result in cheaper wine... whine.
