Thanksgiving weekend was a ton of fun, because I had company. It’s rare that family visits, and all but one of my immediate family members live out of state, so you can imagine my joy at having not one but TWO of them come to town. Activities ranged from seeing the Golden Gate Bridge in perfect light to going to a Raiders game — and rooting for the Bears. Despite the sincere worries of many friends, I made it out of Oakland alive despite cheering against the hardcore Raider Nation.
Anyway, moving on to the weekly 11:11 a.m. time-waster. We’re barrelling along toward Christmas, so if you get really creative, here’s a site where you can possibly draw your own pointsettia. I say “possibly” because you might need to try a few times. If you’re like me and don’t really have any artistic skills, you can still create very cool kaleidoscope-like flowers. Try loading some of the pre-set flowers to get ideas, then clear the canvas and experiment. It’s much more addictive than I would imagine.
