Runs with knives!
I’m currently reading HEAT: An Amateur’s Adventures As Kitchen Slave, Line Cook, Pasta-Maker and Apprentice to a Dante-quoting Butcher in Tuscany by Bill Buford. I was considering bumping this book in favor of Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk to read on an upcoming vacation, but email…
This evening, Wendy & I went and had our cellphones ‘unlocked‘, thereby removing the obligation to stick with Cincinnati Bell’s service (which has been screwing me royally since I signed up for it a few months ago) and allowing us to choose another service that…
Wow, another night at home! Wendy ate NutriSystem, a salad, and some leftover cauliflower soup for her dinner. For me, I had an onion-y cheeseburger and some mushroom risotto. We watched a couple episodes of THE DOG WHISPERER that we’d recorded before coming upstairs to play on computers a bit. A nice quiet evening at home. I could get used to this!

We were incredibly stuffed as we headed home, to sit quietly together on the couch.
After a day of scuba diving at Natural Springs Resort in New Paris, Ohio (about 60 minutes north-ish of us) with Ted, Greg, and Parnell, Wendy & I came home and washed our gear out in our basement’s dip tank and hung the gear to…
