Mom and the family over for grilling and old-fashioned strawberry cake. Broke out the battlebox.

Learned about @media (pointer: coarse)
tonight.
The bambina did her first significant bike riding without training wheels.
Spring cleaning with Meghan in the bedroom.
Accompanied Mom to her first cataract surgery. I may have been more anxious than she was.
Last night’s kitchen victory: the dude and I churned the blueberry gelato.
The dude and I made gelato base and blueberry purée tonight.
The family came downtown for lunch. We ate at Tat’s.
Now reading Why Buddhism is True by Robert Wright.
Tonight’s kitchen victory: salade Niçoise, a royal pain in the ass but so good.
Walked to U Village this afternoon (2h15m). (Actually to Zoka, but same thing.)
Meghan dealt with the handyman contractor this week to install a screen door for our patio door. It is so great.
The bambina has gone to a “hiking and berry picking” class all week. Tonight we had some of her raspberries in a green salad with a red wine / apple cider vinaigrette.
Not sure what to read next: There’s new Neal Stephenson, and Empress of Forever briefly touched its hat to Gene Wolfe, but I’m not sure I want either the commitment or to read another old white dude right now, but I also don’t have anything else lined up.
the Bambina: [stretching for a thing she dropped]
me: Do you want a hand?
the Bambina [picking it up]: No thanks. I’m a strong, independent woman.
