I predict that whomever wins tomorrow's playoff game will go on to play in the Super Bowl.

2012-01-15T16:12:00.001-08:00

Browsing the shops at Carmel Plaza. I think Cece is going to buy something for Diana.

2012-01-14T17:20:00.001-08:00

Actually watched the last quarter of the 49ers game. Happy with the outcome.

2012-01-01T12:19:00.001-08:00

First in 2011: Saviour by Late Night Condition from Deep Elm Sampler No. 9 "We Dream Alone". Last: Look Away by Chicago from Chicago 19

2012-01-01T12:18:00.001-08:00

According to iTunes, I listened to exactly 15,000 different songs in 2011.

2012-01-01T10:37:00.001-08:00

New California law says no more 100-watt light bulbs. We have one. Do we have to turn ourselves in?

2011-12-08T12:55:00.001-08:00

A dearth of broccoli in my home will require a visit to the grocery store this afternoon.

2011-11-13T17:50:00.001-08:00

Seeing Herman's Hermits at Thunder Valley

2011-11-12T15:18:00.001-08:00

Guilty: Christmas shopping.

2011-11-07T07:16:00.001-08:00

I had the jets set so high on the hot tub that I believe it became airborne for a brief time.

2011-11-05T22:12:00.001-07:00

How many clocks must one man own? I just spent the hour I'm gaining tonight setting them all back.

2011-11-03T22:13:00.001-07:00

Looking forward to seeing the Beach Boys on New Year's Eve right here in Sactown (well, at Thunder Valley)

2011-11-03T17:44:00.001-07:00

Holy smoke! No smoke. Brad's truck finally passed the smog check. It's been an ordeal since August.

2011-10-31T21:09:00.001-07:00

Now that Halloween is over, I'm enjoying my first egg nog of the season. Don't worry, the Christmas lights aren't going up just yet.

2011-10-31T20:32:00.001-07:00

104 trick or treaters by 8:30. I think there are still a few more. We're almost out of candy.

2011-10-23T18:35:00.001-07:00

I see that the World Series is on TV. Which countries are playing?

2011-10-10T09:55:00.001-07:00

It's raining. Didn't bring a jacket. Did not have umbrella with me when I went to donate blood. Fortunately, light rail was nearby.

2011-10-07T22:14:00.001-07:00

Home sweet home

2011-10-05T21:33:00.001-07:00

We were asked for ID at a Vegas club. Pretty cool.

2011-09-25T12:34:00.001-07:00

Looking forward to seeing myself on the cover of Rolling Stone. At least if last night's dream comes true.

2011-09-23T08:31:00.001-07:00

At 2:05 AM this morning, every leaf on every tree in my yard fell off. Weird.

2011-09-21T17:06:00.001-07:00

Sacramento's Light Rail System is 24 years old. I estimate I've ridden over 10,000 trips since the beginning.

2011-09-18T16:29:00.001-07:00

It's the cat's annual bath day. They don't really care for it, but I think in the end, they gain some benefit.

2011-09-17T17:12:00.001-07:00

Bought our TSO tickets. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

2011-09-17T16:34:00.001-07:00

On one of the coolest days of the summer (80) I decided to get in the pool for the first time since late July.

2011-09-13T20:22:00.001-07:00

Yum... Alligator jerky.

2011-09-08T21:33:00.001-07:00

My body was so empty of salami that I had to take radical measures and eat several ounces.

2011-08-30T20:11:00.001-07:00

Just about died from a charleyhorse. At least it felt like it.

2011-08-22T13:03:00.001-07:00

Son and family are on cruise in Caribbean. Rerouted because of Hurricane Irene. They will be well clear of its path.

2011-08-22T09:19:00.001-07:00

is still carrying the Post-fest glow.

2011-08-20T23:13:00.001-07:00

Enjoyed another successful ToddFest/Weat

2011-08-19T12:23:00.001-07:00

Today's my boss' birthday. I gave him the day off.

2011-08-19T12:20:00.001-07:00

is enjoying leftover jambalaya from Mimi's for lunch

2011-08-16T20:13:00.001-07:00

Rescuing Brad with a dead battery in his truck. So glad we have AAA. Enjoying Starbucks in the meantime.

2011-08-16T09:54:00.001-07:00

We're waiting for Cece to be discharged from the hospital this morning. She's doing extremely well.

2011-08-14T14:42:00.001-07:00

Just watched video of surgery Cece's undergoing tomorrow. Unfortunately, there's no way to unsee what I just saw.

2011-08-12T08:09:00.001-07:00

Fire alarm at work.

2011-07-30T22:18:00.001-07:00

Been a fan of Chicago for over 40 years. First time seeing them in concert. Worth the wait. Fantastic!

2011-07-30T18:26:00.001-07:00

is going to Chicago in California. Once more to Thunder Valley this weekend.

2011-07-30T08:17:00.001-07:00

Quite upset to discover that the milk Cece bought yesterday was not pre-opened for my convenience. I had to twist off the cap by myself.

2011-07-25T11:14:00.001-07:00

Woo hoo. NFL season is a go. Oh, yeah. Don't care.

2011-07-16T14:10:00.001-07:00

New Car + Rock + Windshield = Not Happy

2011-07-14T15:44:00.001-07:00

Saw Todd and Randy R and John F in the casino.

2011-07-11T14:29:00.001-07:00

I cannot name a single member of the Sacto Kings or the Oakland A's. I think one of the Beach Boys plays for the SF Giants, as I recall.

2011-07-11T08:32:00.001-07:00

New shoes. Comfortable. 'nuff said.

2011-07-09T12:51:00.001-07:00

Happy Odd Sequence Day 7/9/11. Second time to celebrate at 1:03:05 PM

2011-07-09T10:06:00.001-07:00

I though the life of an actor would be all glitz and glamour and parties. Turns out, I still have to mow the lawn.

2011-07-08T11:26:00.001-07:00

managed to get invited to Google+. If you're there, add me to one of your circles - rdlinder

2011-07-08T08:08:00.001-07:00

Tonight's the night: my stage debut at the Thistle Dew - http://ping.fm/bkX2D

2011-07-07T09:11:00.001-07:00

If you missed it the first time, Todd is sitting in with the Late Show band on a Letterman rerun tonight

2011-07-04T15:56:00.001-07:00

Hot day. Cool pool. No contest.

2011-07-03T18:43:00.001-07:00

I am now compliant with the law - CO detector installed.

2011-07-02T11:09:00.001-07:00

Reconsidering my junk pile out for street collection. A lot of people are taking stuff. Maybe I should keep it?

2011-06-27T11:02:00.001-07:00

"Deterding Pool brings classic summer fun" - Unfortunately, I initially read this as "Deturding" - totally different concept

2011-06-26T18:02:00.001-07:00

Bought Thunder Valley Casino tickets: Tubes; Chicago; Frampton; Hall and Oates. Will be rocking.

2011-06-21T15:33:00.001-07:00

Tomorrow's the big day. It'll be in the paper.

2011-06-20T22:19:00.001-07:00

Swim and a soak before bed. Very nice.

2011-06-20T06:36:00.001-07:00

Exactly 52 weeks to the day, my commuting option has changed for the better. Much better.

2011-06-13T11:10:00.001-07:00

Just got a spam "2ND NOTICE AGAIN". Wouldn't that simply be a "3RD NOTICE?" Think I wouldn't notice?

2011-06-12T16:21:00.001-07:00

Backyard now seats 34. Currently seated: 2. What's wrong with this picture?

2011-06-10T13:12:00.001-07:00

is a bit stunned to realize that Rio Linda High has had 40 graduating classes since mine.

2011-06-10T09:35:00.001-07:00

Matt, Brad - pay attention. Dad - please ignore: This year people celebrating Father’s Day will spend an average of $106 on the big guy.

2011-06-08T13:29:00.001-07:00

Heat wave! Actually not. It's very nice outside. More to come.

2011-06-08T12:53:00.001-07:00

just recalled the "Nippy Freeze", Nu Way Market's version of an Icee. Hadn't thought of that name in years.

2011-06-07T11:54:00.001-07:00

Darn. Spilled some Jacob Marley on my pants leg.

2011-06-07T08:18:00.001-07:00

I saw the light - new lights in the office that have been out for years.

2011-06-07T05:30:00.001-07:00

Checking calendar once again. Fog?

2011-06-06T13:13:00.001-07:00

iCloud is active on my iPhone and I didn't have to do anything. Pretty cool.

2011-06-06T13:03:00.001-07:00

Glad to hear they have been vindicated: Cows not at fault for decline of Yosemite toads

2011-06-04T11:57:00.001-07:00

A quick spot check of locales across the country indicate it's warmer just about everywhere. 62 here at noon. Won't get much warmer.

2011-06-01T12:53:00.001-07:00

I just heard that Shaggie is retiring. What will Scooby do?

2011-06-01T10:30:00.001-07:00

I think I've sussed it. The poles have reversed. That's the only way to explain wintry conditions in California in June.

2011-05-31T11:32:00.001-07:00

I've been selected to present a monologue for Thistle Dew's "Shorts and Shorters" production which opens July 8.

2011-05-30T08:50:00.001-07:00

Celebrating the 117th semi-annual observation of my birthday.

2011-05-28T09:47:00.001-07:00

Another gray Saturday. Waiting for Spring. Would like it to arrive before summer.

2011-05-23T10:51:00.001-07:00

Bought the new Lady Gaga album on Amazon for 99 cents. Overwhelming response making a long delay in getting it downloaded.

2011-05-21T18:56:00.001-07:00

Hmm. Still here.

2011-05-20T18:55:00.001-07:00

Watching the film Bonhoeffer at church

2011-05-17T08:05:00.001-07:00

Ahhh. Is there anything better than a new set of earbuds?

2011-05-15T16:43:00.001-07:00

Thunder and lightning and hail. Oh my!

2011-05-13T09:45:00.001-07:00

It was on this Friday the Thirteenth in 1983 that my son Brad was born. Happy birthday!

2011-05-10T11:17:00.001-07:00

It's the happiest day of my life. No more meetings today.

2011-05-09T10:41:00.001-07:00

has come to the sad realization that DOS is not Unix (I live a sheltered life)

2011-05-03T08:14:00.001-07:00

Election day: are you voting? Oh, that's right. It's only for the 3 people in Antelope that are likely to show up and exercise their right.

2011-05-02T14:07:00.001-07:00

Looking forward to corned beef and cabbage this Thursday.

2011-05-02T10:06:00.001-07:00

Changed two of my work calendars. One from April to May, another from March to May.

2011-04-28T13:52:00.001-07:00

Thank goodness for song previews on amazon.com. I saved $5 by not buying a Gorillaz album.

2011-04-24T08:14:00.001-07:00

Happy Easter!

2011-04-22T11:11:00.001-07:00

Changing a bathroom faucet. Once of my least favorite jobs.

2011-04-15T05:56:00.001-07:00

Gas prices have stayed higher than the current date all year. I'm hoping that ends sometime this month.

2011-04-11T08:29:00.001-07:00

Are children of Todd Rundgren fans known as Toddlers?

2011-04-04T21:25:00.001-07:00

Bought tickets for Rod Stewart/Stevie Nicks in Oakland, CA

2011-04-03T18:07:00.001-07:00

took 310 photos of my granddaughter at her birthday party yesterday. She turns one year old tomorrow.

2011-04-02T12:25:00.001-07:00

If you look hard enough, there's probably a TR quote for any situation.

2011-04-02T11:32:00.001-07:00

Made some calls, moved things around and canceled stuff. Now I'm mad.

2011-04-02T10:13:00.001-07:00

Now into hour 3 waiting for the phone company. Not counting the 4 hours for a no-show on Thursday.

2011-03-31T12:04:00.001-07:00

If you expect (but do not seek) disappointment at every turn, you'll feel better when things turn out fine.

2011-03-28T07:23:00.001-07:00

Happy birthday to my son Matt!

2011-03-24T19:57:00.001-07:00

Forgoing my Raspberry Chai tonight for a Caramel Chai

2011-03-24T14:34:00.001-07:00

Congratulations to my niece, Dr. Kathryn Linder, who got her Ph.D. on March 20. Great job, Katie!
