I was out this evening for happy hour with my teacher wife and one of her teacher friends. Â Conversation, as it so often does, turned toward teacher-y things. Â Like a particular student’s difficulty grasping the three branches of the American government. Â That got me sketching in order to kill time.

A very simple sketch this evening, since I’ve got a painfully early morning tomorrow. Â This was inspired by a group of riders who crossed my path on the way home from work today.

Got an additional new computer at work today. Â Not exciting, however: it’s a PC (*groan*), which I only need in order to a) access an archaic JPL database; and b) control the DVD duplicator shown above. Â So I spent a large chunk of my day getting two loathsome machines to talk to one another. Â PCs I can live with, but I’ve got no love for DVDs. Â Please die already, terrible technology!

As I was heading in to work today, I rounded a corner and suddenly met a yappy little dog making a bee-line for my front wheel. Â It’s lucky it wasn’t a cat, or I might not have been motivated to be quite so responsive with the brakes. Â (Kidding! Â Sort of!)

Didn’t really feel like drawing today.  Felt more like having a beer or two.  I ended up doing both, but it wasn’t hard to guess what  was going to work its way into the sketch…

Went over to my cousins’ place tonight to watch the USC/Oregon game — the outcome of which does not need to be discussed here. Â Suffice it to say, we had some excellent enchiladas, and that’s all that matters.

My mind was stuck in a different era today, after Fish Hunter Phil sent me a link to this fascinating story from a century ago.  Seriously, if you have a little time, go listen to that story — it’s quite a piece of work.

We’re getting dangerously close to that little period of the year where Southern California gets a bit of rain and cooler weather. Â Better make hay while the sun shines. Â Or at least BBQ chicken.

Husbands and wives get equal Netflix privileges, and we watched my choice a couple days ago. Â This sketch was inspired by the formulaic basketball-themed romantic comedy we watched this evening. Â I know what you’re thinking: “Basketball rom-com! Â But that sounds so promising!”

Yes, I realize it’s pronounced “boat.” Â But these are size 13, so that’s not far off. Â Plus, I was using them to keep up above the water on this rainy day.
