周末去滑了两天雪，这个累！直到现在才缓过劲儿来。不过我还就喜欢这东东，所以再累也勇往直前。回来一看我倒的这茴香豆还真有人爱吃，那我就接着倒吧。
在北美生活了这些年，除了看英文闲书外，还看了一些“有用”的书。比如有关作人的基本原则的“AllIReallyNeedtoKnowILearnedfromKindergarten”;有关婚姻关系的“MenArefromMars,WomenArefromVenus”.哥们姐们可别小看了这[阅读全文]

十来年以前，我们从东部搬来湾区。那时大女儿在上学，因为公司在MountainView，就先在那里租房住。当时公司的relocationpackage要求半年之内买房，就有很多补贴，所以我们一直在看房。那时房市刚刚起来，很多房子，我们在MountainView,PaloAlto,LosAltos,Cupertino,Sunnyvale，WestSanJose看了四、五十个，就是没有100%满意的，不是价钱太高，就是layout不喜欢。那时MountainView,Cupertino,Sunnyvale(betterp[阅读全文]

上上个星期五（4/6）我就将地税的支票寄出去了。往年第二天就寄到，第三天就cleared.我们一家星期六就出门玩儿去了。星期三（4/11），人还在旅馆里，上网一看，账号上的钱还是那么多，就有点慌了。到县里的网站一瞧，白纸黑字写着：逾期不付，罚款$1000!
结果假期也没过好，心里七上八下的，心疼那无缘无故失去的1000美金啊。让LD打电话去问，（我心情不好，怕跟小职[阅读全文]

前面有人说了Cupertino91.8万的房子20个offer抢.我看到这个LosAltos刚上市的百年老房,要价3.6粒米.此房不象CupertinoorSunnyvale的房子基本是工薪阶层在抢,LosAltos多是professionals(doctors,lawyers,hi-techexecutives).如果这个房子也能很快卖掉,那弯曲的房市就真的又热起来了.要买房的筒子们,大家赶快冲啊.

前几天看了一部老电影：CoolHandLuke.在美国上过高中的虾们，或家中有高中学生的可能都知道。这部电影和GrapeofWrath一书一样是美国高中生们的现代文学必读（看）。这部电影也和GrapeofWrath一书一样是美国的社会主义教育的一部分，都是控诉黑暗的资本主义社会的文学作品。中国这样的社会主义国家用同样的书和电影来告诉自己的高中生们：瞧！人家自己说的，资本主义社会[阅读全文]
