They have been predicting storms for the last couple of days, but the weather just didn’t roll in.  Until today. 

Yesterday I flew home from Philadelphia after completing three morning meetings from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m.  It took me all day to get home because of the FAA computer problems (or whatever it was).  When I say all day, I mean I arrived at the airport at 11:15 a.m. Eastern Time and walked in the door at home at 11:58 p.m. Pacific Time.  All day.

Since I have been getting up so early all week, I woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep when Lori got up to start her day.  So I got up and went for a run.  It felt great to be running on the mountain, and I managed to beat the storm — and even get a decent picture of San Francisco Bay to boot.  It started raining shortly after I finished my run, and it has been a blustery day since.

The predict better weather for the weekends.  I hope so.  I finally bought some crab pots, and it would be great to give them a try this weekend.  We’ll see!
