    And here’s Part Two of our trip to California last year. See, it only takes a year for me to write these up. You get what you pay for. Read.

  • califriday

    About a year ago, B and I vacationed in California for a week. I jotted down notes about all the places we’d been and things we’d done each day, and shortly after we got back I spent a day and a night bashing the keyboard so they’d all be part of the amazing chronicle of… Read.

  • winter is here

    We turned the furnace on last night for the first time this season, and B and I are wearing flannel jammies to bed. Winter is officially here. Read.

  • chill

    We went to the wurst fest at the city park on Ingersoll St., but the fall weather got the best of us and we left after barely an hour. Temps were in the 40s and a few gusts came along just often enough to blow our paper plates and napkins away, and not incidentally chill… Read.

  • mom

    Mom stopped by in town for a visit last night … We had dinner at the Great Dane downtown, then hung around telling stories until after dark. Good times! Read.

  • only

    I thought I was going to be the only dude in the yoga class we signed up for, but at the last minute another guy walked in. There were about fifteen of us. The instructor says that’s a big class. It seemed big in the tiny little room where we gathered at the community center.… Read.

  • sans alarm

    Even though I didn’t have to, and the alarm on my phone didn’t go off, and the cat didn’t walk on my face, and there was no thunder and lightning, and the house and the street and the city was utterly quiet, no car alarms, no sirens, no squadrons of chirping crickets – even so,… Read.

  • five

    I got a solid five hours sleep last night. I can work with five. I would have had time to go to the bathroom, then crawl back into bed and get some more sleep, but I woke up after a dream about chasing Ellen Ripley away with a flamethrower after she morphed into a face-munching… Read.

  • Sujeo

    I have literally lost two inches off my waist between this morning and last night, when I stuffed myself with a meal of bibimbap and spring rolls at the weekend soft opening of Tory Miller’s new restaurant, Sujeo. I shouldn’t have eaten so much; I should have eaten half and taken the other half home… Read.
