Sunday, December 28, 2008. We made our own pizza tonight. It was a joint effort. Jim prepared the dough, Ginger ladeled the sauce on the crust, Marcia and I chopped the vegetables, and we all had a hand in arranging the cheese and toppings. It was truly a communal work of art! Having made quite a few pizzas myself, I can attest to the challenge of working the dough into a circle. Most of my pies wind up looking like trapezoids with holes. Jim did a splendid job making a near-perfect circular crust. Starr...

Thursday, July 31, 2008. The remnants of Hurricane Dolly made their way to New Mexico on Sunday, devastating the town of Ruidoso. With flash flooding sparked by six inches of rain in 24 hours. New Mexico Business Journal. Reports that most of the town was unaffected by floods. But other sources report 200 homes either damaged or destroyed, one person dead, 13 bridges washed out, and 70 people stranded in Upper Canyon. Just north of Abiquiu. We stopped for a picnic lunch at Echo Amphitheater. Of the groun...

Sunday, August 17, 2008. Six weeks ago I bought a bicycle at Fat Tire Cycles. My new bike is an Electra Townie. A cruising bike that uses Electra's Flat Foot Technology. The Townie seems to be the bike of choice for lapsed bike riders and (ahem) "older Americans." The price of this beauty was four times. That of the electric blue Spaulding, including the high-tech removable basket and the very cool bell that says, "I love my townie.". While I've no expectation of biking 30 miles anytime soon, I'm hoping ...

Wednesday, June 27, 2007. For the past five days I've been visiting with the parents, force-feeding myself large meals mid-afternoon, and spending inordinate amounts of time sleeping. This morning I went for a long walk on Venice's Caspersen Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the U.S. Crossing the Mississippi at Vicksburg, MS, the possibility of making Mobile by dark seemed quite doable. I pulled into Mobile at 6:30, bought a basket of juicy peaches at a roadside stand, rented a deluxe room with...

Thursday, October 09, 2008. Up, Up and Away. It was one of those days when I wished I'd stayed in bed. I was late leaving for my morning balloon chase, I turned right when I meant to turn left, I seemed to always be in the wrong lane for making a turn, I found myself in heavy traffic on streets I tried to avoid, and my morning shaped up to be one missed opportunity after another. It always makes me nervous when balloons fly so close to wires. This balloon was especially colorful! On my way home I came ac...

Monday, December 31, 2007. Happy Creepy New Year. What is it about dolls that's so scary?

Tuesday, March 10, 2009. Simply put, the finale didn't deliver. Rumor has it a spinoff is in the works. "The Farm" will star L Word character Alice Pieszecki, who plays a prison inmate. Can we assume this has something. To do with the death of Jenny? Did Alice kill crazy Jenny? There is also a fair amount of internet chatter about a movie, and possibly more spinoffs. The end of the L Word is, quite possibly, not an ending at all, but a springboard to further story lines. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
