Don’t Forget Your Condiments

Coming home this afternoon, I decided to devour a frozen burrito. I mean, a heated burrito. Which was once frozen.
And as I popped it in the microwave I thought:
“I’m gonna need some sour cream.
We don’t have any sour cream!
Ooh - ranch dressing would be good.
Everything is good with ranch.
Ranch, or chocolate syrup.
We don’t [...]

But today I found out Weird Al was giving [...]

Monday Confessions

I lost someone’s house key.
I really want to make some refried beans.
Sometimes I just want to do it my way.
Sometimes I just want to do it your way.
I’m afraid of what I don’t know how to do.
Aphids are eating the dill, and I don’t [...]

Ahoy

Lyndsay and I are in Long Beach for Izzy’s wedding, and I’m coming to you live from the Queen Mary.
We’re already in our second room, since last night about 3:00 AM a couple of guys showed up in the room next door to our first room, and proceeded to argue about, among other things, who [...]

Day One

Yesterday was Day One.
Yesterday was Lyndsay’s first day as a former-employee of Calvin Crest. She’ll be substitute teaching in the Oakhurst/Coarsegold area for the rest of this semester.
Yesterday was the beginning of the “Interim Period.” The summer staff is gone. CommonFire isn’t here yet. But we still have groups. So [...]
