the crazy good parking karma that i’ve had recently. knock on wood.

golf with gramps and dickie on saturday. even though it was supposed to be in the 60’s, and i was freezing my ass off.
mom having a successful surgery, and hopefully, a speedy recovery. you know she just loves people cleaning up after everyone.
every time i talk about my lack of injuries, i’ve been knocking on wood. a lot. and i ran back to back days for the first time since april. knock knock.
the sopranos. holy crap. what a great episode.
dinner with gordon, karen, steve, and lisa on friday at zuzu.
northern state. not their actual music, but the fact that they’re 3 white girls from long island who rap. they’re the more annoying nagging sounding beastie boys.
you can quote me on this. in about 2 months, you’re not going to be able to avoid stories about thicke. and yes, he’s alan thicke’s son, but that is one funky white boy.
we finally bought our tickets to phoenix for february.
the pats come from behind victory over da bears. take that, fridge.
tiger woods golf 2002
breakfast for dinner. it reminds me of when dickie used to make us scrambled eggs and bagels for dinner on sundays.

a weekend of my favorite sandwiches. mmmmm, sandwiches.
walking into chez henri and not having to wait for a table. and then finding a parking spot in about 2 minutes. 2 freakish events that almost never happen.
i ran 4.5 miles on saturday. probably the longest i’ve run since before i broke my foot.
dinner at steve and lisa’s on sunday
my first visit to walmart. and maybe my second visit to kmart. they’re no target.
walmart 1 hour digital picture printing. so sweet.
i’m happy that ben kweller’s show at the paradise got sold out. but i’m not happy that we didn’t get tickets.
jiffy pop
d-man got a job. in austin.
rainX. that stuff is a miracle. you don’t even need to use your wipers after using it
the sight of susanne squirting whipped cream into her mouth, directly from the can. now that is classy.
e-shave. the best shave i’ve ever had. i actually look forward to shaving now.
