Room for more gloom!

Just the kind of day that makes you feel good to be alive!

Gomez Addams's cartoon precursor used to say that to his family only on the gloomiest of days.

The gloomy days here (wet and foggy, with temperatures in the 50s) actually do make me feel good to be alive, especially compared to the arctic East Coast conditions.

I finally found my camera (which I'd concluded had been stolen out of my car), and thought I'd celebrate by sharing a couple of shots of the blessed, blissful, Bay Area gloom.

Here's the view outside my bedroom window. Straight across and through the fog is San Francisco, with the equally invisible Golden Gate Bridge in the center.

And here's a corner of the living room, looking towards the ceiling.

Lots of room to appreciate gloom!

OK, I give up. What the heck IS that thing in the corner? A stuffed Moonbat?

If I answered that question, it might be used against me in court!

I have that book somewhere of macabre cartoons by Charles Addams. My Dad had it from way back in the early 1960s. And I loved that TV show that was based on it. A different, and spookier, kind of dark humor was that of Edward Gorey, which my Mama loved.

You and Dean Esmay keep bringing back old memories. A lot of things keep bringing back old memories. What a day today has been. Whooooeeee!....

If you look Real Hard through that fog, you may be able to see my office near the SF Airport - we usually have a wonderful view of Oakland and Berkeley. But not yesterday, which was almost as pea-soup at SFO as it was in Berkeley...

As for your house, it looks like you could run seriously cool fantasy role-playing games there, what with the battlements and cool brick rooms with interesting tapestries and random Lovecraftian beasties on the walls.

(*oops* showed excessive geekitude)
