We went out to breakfast at The Harbor Watch, a new place out on West Bay Shore Drive. It's a nice looking new restaurant - it looks like a lighthouse. The food was excellent.
This was a good day to make veggie soup, read a good book, and play on the computer. It rained all day, and then at night we had a thunder storm.
Talked to Jana in the evening. CQ has won two prestigious awards, and she will be attending the awards ceremony in Hollywood. Jana's site was nominated for General Excellence. This is her award-winning site:

Excerpt from announcement article:
LOS ANGELES -- The finalists for the fifth annual Online Journalism Awards (OJAs) were announced Thursday by the Online News Association (ONA) and the USC Annenberg School for Communication. The contest, which honors excellence in digital journalism, was judged by a team of distinguished journalists during a two-day event on the USC campus on Oct. 1 and 2.
The winners will be announced at the OJA Awards Banquet during the fifth national conference of the Online News Association, which will be held Nov. 12-13 at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles.
"The finalists for this year's Online Journalism Awards represent the finest work being done in online news today," said Doug Feaver, President of the Online News Association and executive editor of Washingtonpost.com. "The finalists show us that online journalism is maturing. Sites large and small are learning how to tell compelling stories, cover the news, give advice and investigate wrongdoing through the use of text, audio, video and graphics brought together with increasingly creative designs."
Jana brightened up our rainy day!
