So … I look like Ella Fitzgerald? I can’t imagine that to be true, but some face recognition software suggests that is one face that is similar to mine. The first face it suggested was some man. Sigh. But I’ll take Ella any day.

Try it out for yourself.

Here’s the picture I used:

… and I probably should use something that is a bit clearer and more head-on I suppose. But I couldn’t find one! (I’m not particularly fond of this picture, but then I am never fond of pictures of myself. This one is from several years ago, and I have a different and —dare I say it — more “hip” hairstyle I think, and my glasses are a vast improvement over what I had back then.

I suppose neither this post nor the preceding one really need to be up at the oboe site, but, well, Ella was incredibly musical, and, um … let’s see … I did mention the awful aquarium music in the prior post! (I wish they’d played Saint Saens’ Carnival of the Animals … well, the fish portion … THAT would have worked for me.)

We went on a mini-vacation (one overnight) to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.

Yep. You read that right … THIRTY years, come this January 3rd.

It was an infant wedding of course. 😉

We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium today, and I can do without any new-agey-sounds-like-good-under-water music for a good long time! But the fish were incredible, the penguins were cute as can be, and the jellies mesmerizing. Yesterday we were at Point Lobos and it was beautiful.

Now it’s off to Into the Woods. Woo hoo!

Tomorrow I drive our daughter back down to UCI. I’m looking forward to the little trip.
