I can’t even see the word sushi without thinking of Uncle Ernie’s unfortunately named restaurant (Look Who’s Talking Too reference) and thinking they were totally wrong, that is a fucking BRILLIANT name for a sushi restaurant! Cali and I had dinner here: Sushiholic. We even had the Chef’s Special, the Dragon Roll. It was fantastic. [...]

Tainted Love

It’s been an interesting weekend. I guess I’ve ended my cleanse in a very unclean way, gorging on Kudos peanut butter bars and Cheetos. Give me my preservatives, additives and caffeine or give me death! Long live the Twinkie and don’t deny me a menage a trois with my two favorite men, Ben and Jerry!! [...]

We got home today. I could have used a few more days of R-n-R but I guess it’s good I don’t get used to it. I’ve got a ton of work waiting for me tomorrow morning. UGH. I don’t even want to think about it. I am feeling SO much better after my vacation. Totally [...]

For the next 5 days I’ll be blogcasting live from a cabin in North Lake Tahoe. A cabin with WiFi – totally awesome. I love getting back to nature, as long as that nature has access to high speed internet. Right now the kids are playing ping-pong upstairs. I’m sitting in bed, blogging and watching [...]
Who’s your daddy?

Father’s Day is a difficult holiday around my house. My own father died 20 years ago (skiing accident). Long enough that it doesn’t tug at me that way, but still makes me a bit “wistful”. He’s been gone more than half my life now. In fact, I’m almost the age he was when he died, [...]
Oh Summer!

Today was officially the first day of summer, according to the school calendar. It was a hot, lazy, typical northern California summer day. Perfect if you’re a kid. Totally sucky if you’re a wage-earning adult. Since I fall into the second category, I didn’t enjoy today nearly as much as my first-category kids did. Yesterday [...]
