amethyst73The weekend got started a little on the early side. Thursday night, the huz and I went to a concert to celebrate the opening of the Stanford Center for the Study of Poverty and Inequality. The music was all stuff that had been specifically commissioned for the occasion, and all of it was both good and moving, accompanied by slideshow/video footage of homeless and shelter folks. Some of the stats they mentioned were truly outrageous: e.g. there are 37 million people in America living in poverty... that's more than the entire population of Canada. Eeek. Anyway, the Center has a three-year grant to study poverty and inequality, and to come up with ideas, probably implementable at the corporate level, to fight a smarter war on poverty. It's going to be a tough job, but if any area in America can do it, it's probably Silicon Valley.
Other than that, we didn't do much special over the weekend. I completed Snowpeak. kayray, you were right - last scene is totally 'awwwwww!' The bosses seem to be getting nastier; I didn't actually run out of hearts with the end boss, but it felt awfully close. It's probably time to start putting some serious cash into Malo's bridge project so that the Magic Armor will eventually become available.
Post with serious stuff later today or tomorrow.
