Outside: San Francisco continuing the drench. Not far beyond the shifting pane of droplets is the sea. I cannot capture the scene with my camera, but I can just discern the nearby shape of Maakies' enigmatic tugboat plying the choppy surface.

Inside: fireplace, napping cats on warm hardwood, Monomes of amber and green. Highly oxygenated air pushing through slightly opened windows. Alert synthesizers receiving and transmitting music spinning from machine collaborative Max patches.

Later: midnight Noisebridge, 256 more Monome buttons, a likely umbrella.

The seagulls are loving this wonderful weekend weather. So, undoubtedly, are the various sea monsters inhabiting our fairyland bay. So, too, am I.
