I Ate Too Much Artisan

Tried that artisan pizza tonight. Delish. But I ate too much. Could barely enjoy the rest of the night. I am that old now. Juice diet starting soon. But tonight...

I think it's pretty terrific!

Going To The Store

I got nothing today...

I Can't Find To Hear You

Yuula likes our remotes. She's taken to hiding them, inadvertently. The tuner remote has been missing for a bit. Til today...

Fresh Tiques, New Eats, Still Clean

Went out this afternoon for a little family togetherness, we haven't had in a few weeks. Headed into Jersey to look at mantles at a tremendous antique shop on 31. Closed. Headed back and thru google found another along the way called Sleepy Hollow. Tons of junk everywhere. Just our kind of place. Met the owner, Ginger, and she hooked us up with a few hidden treasures to be found around the old barn.




After finding a way back into PA without paying a toll we headed into Bangor for a little search for food. Came across Miss Emma's which came with its own private lot and was the only place on the block that didn't have vagrants hanging outside the premises. Cute place, good soup and tasty, tasty burgers. Didn't get shots inside. We ate quite fast, but their exterior wall was fancy.




Best part about the day is I actually came home without stains on my sparkling white T-shirt. That has never happened. So....

Spring, Crack, Blue Ice

Deer Don't Wave Back

She waved to each one that wandered thru...



and learned that wood-dwelling creatures can be insolent.

Hungry Spastics Play Hungarian Classic

The Dreaded Double Baby Day

Laura got to watch Isabella yesterday while her parents went out for birthday dinner/movie date. I was gone all day so she was taking on a new challenge. I was interested to hear how it went down.




Seems the girls get along swimmingly. Us parents make fun of their "opposites attract" chemistry. Isabella is controlled and calculated. Yuula is a wild animal. Isabella examines and is cautious in new situation. Yuula dives in head first, quite literally. Isabella is composed and Yuula is spastic. Both girls like Cheerios, so maybe that's a strong enough building block for babies to build a friendship off of.





I heard there was lots of sharing of toys, along with hugs and even some piano lessons. Whatever took place here during the day really wore them both out.



We let her sleep there last night. She's still there now.

Warm Up To Cool Out

Running behind. We wait in the fog. I hope it thickens by the time our number's pulled.

A Real Show Brings Its Own Lights

Standing, watching hundreds of people walk past it towards the stadium. I know you got cameras in your pocket.

I'll get it for you, don't worry.

Mystery Peanut Danger

I found ripped up scraps of paper on the floor in the hall. I scooped them up and began to reassembled, awaiting the moment a secret message would reveal itself to me. I was not disappointed.

That's how bored I am.

Dodging In Dakota

Since my first sleep spot was scouted out and infiltrated I resort to my truck. Not the most comfy and the bus fumes may kill me, but I am as far from thw mob as possible. For now. Only three more hours. Haruka Nakamura, bring it home.

Can We Get This To Go?

Finally Dining Bensi

I have six hours to kill before our warm-up so the girls came out and we're finally using that gift card the seniors from '09 gave us. So far s'okay.

Tutu Application Incites Late Nite Dance Riots

Girl gets crazy at night. And I assure you, she knows how to get that giraffe moving but tonight I guess it was just a prop in her routine.

Torrents Proved Otherwise

Rain's back, seems to be. Drove me and the girl to NJ today in good faith, to teach for the evening. Moments on the road and the torrents proved otherwise.




Got in a mini-rehearsal, since I made the drive, and made plans to meet Laura for dinner before she got a haircut from Tamana. She is not my best friend, nor do I love her. But the door to van did mysteriously remain open the entire soup and half salad and like I said earlier, it was pouring.




Yuula and I come home and watch some Real Time and nothing-or-other and ate three flavor sticks. Yellow, green then blue. She got upset when they were gone, but mom is gonna be home. Any minute now...

Clogging The Vacuum Tube

Mixing playtime and eat time. Gotta like that.

The Skill In Attending A Party

Pivotal and influential to probably 98% of the music on my iPod (and yours), R.E.M. spent 31 years (31 years!) churning out quality tunes and classic underground moments in audio recording ingenuity. Some of their "worsts" are my favorites. And their masterpieces are undeniable. They broke up yesterday. Today's playlist is set.

Listen to them all. There won't be anymore.
