The holiday season is coming on, which means many of our weekends are full of parties, some of which Chef has to work. Tonight, a private charity dinner at Kokoro for [...]
Since Chef and I got married, I’ve basically quit cooking. And grocery shopping. And cleaning the kitchen.
Last week Ethan and I agreed that we should be cooking more often, not only to give Chef a break here and there, but because I’m a decent cook and Ethan loves to help in the kitchen [...]
We spent Ethan’s birthday eating a huge breakfast and dinner out, playing with his rockets in the front yard, and explaining why slingshots should not be used against people, animals, and houses. Also, bitching about the student neighbors tailgating (from 11 A.M. to at least 6 P.M., when we left to do things other [...]

Thinking peripherally about the post and comment below, specifically about the “energy left by violence”:
A kid got shot last weekend, a couple of blocks from my house. On the same weekend, there was a stabbing at one of my old haunts. In the last couple of years, we had an attempted break-in and [...]
Earlier this month, I had a garage sale and got to meet some of the elderly neighbors from down the street, people who have lived here for a thousand years and can tell you the history of every house and every family that lived in it. One of the gentlemen I met, a retired [...]

…especially right before bed. I just had my first zombie-related bad dream (that involved Shaq and Morrissey) that actually makes me afraid of going back to sleep.
So we were cleaning the house in a fervor yesterday afternoon when the phone rang, and I was greeted by the Ass PAC that’s been calling everyday for weeks.
