Pavlov’s cat
Seriously, my sibs are out of control. The second they hear the 606 alarm they come running. Generally by the time I look at the phone, stop the alarm and then look back up, a pose has been struck.
Working with Lady Pepperbottom by my feet
Manduh has wanted this status since she was 0 years old and now its hers. It’s been in my grandparents house forever and at this point it’s actually gone past tacky and into kitchy and retro cool. The sad part is that I find myself reaching out and almost petting her…it. Dammit, it’s a statue, not a real dog!
Wine tasting for Dad’s birthday
We took a trip to Temecula for some wine tasting. Color me surprised, I didn’t know there was wine in Temecula and I didn’t know it could be so good. We went to 3 different wineries and a wine and cheese pairing and had an altogether great day.
I’m not going to bother mentioning 2 of the wineries because although they were good, they lacked something. A personality, a soul, that je ne sais quoi…something. Longshadow Ranch, on the other hand, was fantastic. Mike served us up, gave good conversation, was entertaining and didn’t make us feel rushed in any way. Exactly what I want in a wine tasting. On top of that the wine was excellent too.
Deep in the OC
Yeah, I know it’s been a while since I posted. It’s hard when I’m staring at a computer screen (almost) every day at 6:06. I still don’t know exactly what to do but we’ll see. I’m mulling over ideas. At the moment I’ve flown to the Orange County Airport to meet Dad and Matt and later Manduh to have some dinner and hang out in LA for a week. My feet are telling me that it’s time for new shoes so we’ve gone to Sketchers to do something about that…it’s made Matt unbelievably happy, as you can see.
