We went to Jazz on the Hill yesterday, a Jazz festival put together by KCSM Jazz 91 at the College of San Mateo. Great, sunny day, with good music and a couple of nice food trucks parked nearby. A fun way to spend the afternoon! http://www.jazzonthehill.org/info.php One of the musicians, Barbara Dane , is 87 years old! Pretty impressive. She has a dusky, powerful voice that is compelling and makes you want to finish listening to her!

To be sung prior to drink! For the merriment of all! --Helan går-- Helan går Sjung hoppfallerallan lallanlej Helan går Sjung hoppfallerallan lej.   Och den som inte Helan tar Han heller inte Halvan får Helan gåååår...(drick!) Sjung hoppfallerallan lej.     --Å kräfta å ja (melody: å jänta å ja)--   Å kräften å ja, å kräften å ja vi trivas så bra tillsammans, å ja Ja kräftan å ja, ja kräftan å ja vi trivas i fröjd och gamman.   Där ligger hon på ett fat mellan dill och lovar precis så mycket du vill Och får man en iskall nubbe därtill av glädje man faller samman.   --Kräftan (melody: Blinka lilla stjärna)-- Kräfta, kräfta prydd med dill, och en immig sup därtill, bröd och smör och ost och sill och så några supar till Kräfta, kräfta prydd med dill, nu vi får allt vad vi vill.

Beautiful to behold. http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsfc/7009056027/

Here's a riddle I found, supposedly attributed to Albert Einstein. There is a solution! There are 5 houses in a row, and in five different colors. In each house lives a person from a different country. Each person drinks a certain drink, plays a certain game, and keeps a certain pet. No two people drink the same drink, play the same game or have the same pet. The British lives in a red house. The Swedish keeps dogs. The Danish drinks tea. The green house is on the left of the white house. The green house owner drinks coffee. The person who plays tennis rears birds. The owner of the yellow house plays chess. The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk. The Norwegian lives in the first house. The man who plays poker lives next to the man who keeps cats. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who plays chess. The man who plays billiards drinks lemonade. The German plays golf. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house. The man who plays poke

Amazing video showing last year's weather. I am completely mesmerized. This is perhaps where big data analysis is going to help us understand our home a lot better!
