Leaving On A Jet Plane

Quick plane to LA to board a more substantial machine for Raleigh. Not too often we get to walk out to the plane anymore, but I remember when that was the only option.

Tiki Will

On the 8 inch strip of wall between the dining room and kitchen hangs the tiki man. He's been there since we moved in and although he's a bit ugly, he's part of our family. Look a little closer and you will see a picture of Will. The photo was part of his bar mitzvah decorations and when we got home from the party, we stuck the picture in tiki man as a joke. We forget it's there, but sometimes a guest will make a comment.

9 cents in 7 hours...

The unleaded was $2.97 in the morning and $3.06 in the afternoon. I wonder what it will be tomorrow morning. Remember when diesel was the cheap gas?

Flying Spaghetti Monster

It's the skin on my laptop...found at the University of Oregon bookstore last year. We love the FSM at our house - you should, too.

Julia Roberts Would Be SO Proud!

Just like "Pretty Woman", Christiana and I went out to stomp the divots at half time (after the second chukker) of the polo game. Champagne in hand, we searched for the hidden champagne cork but no free bottle for us today. No steaming divot either...

Can't Look...

Watching the Oregon / Stanford game on TV and wishing I was in Autzen Stadium with Will cheering on the Ducks. Instead, I was home (and also eating dinner at restaurant) and trying not to look at the score. It all turned out OK with Oregon smushing the Stanford Cardinal once and for all. OOOOOOOO!

Dryer Cat

The top of the dryer means many things to Darby. He knows that when we go into the laundry room, he will either get a treat or be brushed - or both. He'll meow his unhappiness if we actually go in to do laundry.
