My son sent this late last night: January 18, 2008, 19:19:02 I slept eight hours last night! I went to sleep around 10:30pm and woke up just before 6:30am. I also woke up briefly at 4:30am, but this was from the remote control falling off the bed and turning on the television. I turned it off and...
I know I said I wouldn't but I have. 1. I don't think I'll get another 100 but thought I'd try. 2. I will post it not matter how far I get.. 3. I find humour attractive. 4. I think anyone who says looks aren't important is lying. It may not be the most important thing but it's still something to...

Oysters, beyond raw By Russ Parsons, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer January 30, 2008 WE were wandering south along Tomales Bay a couple of months ago and stopped in for oysters at a little place called Marshall Store. I ordered up a dozen raw, and an icy Sierra Nevada. And then, just on a whim, I...
And so our saga continues… the second week and life is changing fast. I’ve found a nice little groove, sans jet lag, with a much better comprehension of the French around me. I no longer feel completely foreign, which is nice. I still only understand half of what I hear, but it doesn’t give me...

I have to confess that I am a dunker. A cup of tea is not complete without a biscuit (or six) to dip in to it. I am such a die-hard fan of dunking that I will dip any biscuit in to my cuppa regardless of whether it is “meant to be dipped” (a term that was highly overrated by my mother when I was...
Counting the days before I depart to the English land in which I have never set foot before. My father had been there for a year, my brother had been there for a few days. And I, shall be there for two months. Sounds like a short period of time. And my biggest hope is that I could bring all my...

Its 12:41 to be exact. I'm munching on some Hawaiian sweet bread and drinking a third of a quart of milk. This is college. I just did my "workout" for the evening. The word has quotes because I realize how pathetic it is compared to highschool workouts. Highschool workouts would be, say 12 miles...
As hard as it to believe (from a calendar standpoint), today marks our one-year wedding anniversary Yes, we made it through that often-remarked "first year" the one, you know, that is designated the hardest. It wasn't that hard. It was a lot of fun, actually. And while not without its challenges, if...
It is something of a mystery as to how the genetic material of my parents banged together to produce me. If I didn't look a lot like my dad, I would suspect I was switched at the hospital at birth. And truthfully, as much as I hate to admit it, my father and I are quite a lot alike in some ways....
I could tell class was going to be different from the second I stepped in the doors of the kitchen. I arrived about 15 minutes early, and Chef was buzzing around the place already. There were two other students there early also, and they were buzzing around the kitchen too. "FISCH!" Chef shouted...
What is it about human nature? I've been thinking a lot about the word "integrity:" "Integrity: The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness." In the Latin sense it means whole, undamaged, undivided, and complete. An apple has integrity until someone takes a bite...

A while back, I was talking to Peabody, and I asked her to make some loukoumades so I could live vicariously through her blog. One, because I don't make doughnuts and two, because I already look like I wear a doughnut around my waist so I don't need to be eating said doughnuts. Loukoumades are Greek...
We took Friday off to finally get the remainder of our stuff (yeah, mostly mine) out of the house that will now be referred to in subsequent posts as, "The Rental House."
