zuzu’s petals
We took the afternoon off from work yesterday, went to Porto Alba to have some Neopolitan pizza for lunch, then saw “It’s A Wonderful Life” on the big screen at the Sundance Cinema with an audience of maybe a dozen people who applauded after the final scene. B and I got all tearey-eyed instead of… Read.

hat or snake
After yoga on Friday night, we drove up Willy Street to the Roman Candle pizzeria to feast upon a sixteen-inch pie made with pepperoni, sausage, bacon and onions. B was hungry and wanted something that would really stick to her ribs. The young lady who waited on us had dozens of small tattooed figures on… Read.

foot-ugly
I was sitting cross-legged at yoga class last night, the only time I ever see my naked feet up close and personal, which is why I noticed that they were ugly, which lead to my next random thought: Foot-ugly should be a way of describing things. There’s butt-ugly, so why not foot-ugly? You may point… Read.

cammo
When I went for an early-morning walk yesterday, I came around the corner of one street to be met by a happily barking spaniel who circled around me, jumping into the air. His owner emerged from a nearby garage calling, but the spaniel would not stop circling around me, barking. “He gets really excited when… Read.

Sean was not impressed by the coffee I make. “Mine is like rocket fuel!” he bragged. He makes his with a French press, spooning about an inch of ground coffee into it. I’m starting to feel like I’m the only person on earth who makes mild coffee. When I told him that the stuff I… Read.

Tyranena
After everybody got up and got showered on Sunday, we all piled into the O-mobile to make the short trip to Lake Mills, where we visited the Tyranena brewery. Their tap room opens at noon and they encourage visitors to order take-out food from any of the local restaurants and bring it in to eat… Read.

picked
After finding out that a locksmith charged Sean a butt-ton of money to open the door to his apartment, B was thinking that maybe we should get into that line of work. I was thinking it probably isn’t as lucrative a business as she thinks it is. I mean, there’s probably reasons like insurance and… Read.

the big if
I buy our coffee and coffee filters at the Willy Street Co-Op, the kind of place that sells all-natural, certified organic everything, which means that the coffee is all fair trade and the coffee filters are made of unbleached, recycled paper products. I’m not sure I want to know how they clean up paper products… Read.

finale
I didn’t like the way Daredevil ended, by the way. The crack team of Nelson & Murdock didn’t outsmart the Kingpin, he outsmarted them. (Why did they never call him Kingpin? That’s a GREAT supervillain name!) And the final battle between Daredevil and Fisk was lame. Fisk hits Daredevil. Daredevil hits Fisk. Fisk takes Daredevil… Read.

loaned
I found my student loan paperwork today. I went to college back when you could get a college education for the price of a pretty average, new car, if that helps you figure out how long ago that was. The promissory notes show that I borrowed $250 to cover the balance of tuition for the… Read.
