August 29, 2009: My Day At The Fair. No, really.

Today, I went to the fair. No, really. My wife had mentioned wanting to go yesterday and I’d answered her with a “Sure, sure.” – you know, the kind of response you give an acquaintance who suggests getting together for coffee some time.

Spooky jungle pic.   My pug Jelly went in for her ultrasound this morning.

August 26, 2009: Hey, who wants to rewrite the season finale for me? October’s Book of the Month Club Pick! What’s your space pirate name? And other important questions from the gang at SFSignal.

Hey, remember when I said I was actually looking forward to this rewrite?  Well, I honestly don’t know what the hell I was thinking.  I guess I figured that, given the notes, it wouldn’t be all that big a pass.  But it turns out I was wrong.  Yep, it never fails.  Those tiny little changes [...]

“They make-a me a prisoner inside-a my home,”my elderly neighbor Tony informed me this morning.  Needless to say I was surprised, not so much by the implication that he was being held captive and had somehow managed to escape in order to tend to his tomato plants, but the fact that he was actually engaging [...]

August 23, 2009: What you’ve been missing. My finalized Tokyo restaurant list. And the mailbag.

I’m taking the weekend off to read, study my Japanese, watch some dvd’s, and spend quality time with the dogs. It’s amazing how much they appreciate a leisurely walk or something as simple as having company while sunning themselves out in the backyard. Those of you who haven’t been following the dogs on twitter – [...]

Several weeks ago, this blog hosted its very first Caption This contest. After considering countless inspired entries, contest judge Carl Binder selected the winner: none other than blog regular JES who took home the grand prize.
