#6 - Renew an old friendship

One of the worst things about moving is that I have to leave Regan, my old high school friend. She lives just down the road and we have spent many evenings at the gym together and Saturday mornings with Edna, her awesome TurboKick instructor. It's been great spending time with her and watching her son grow up over the past year. I'm sure we'll keep in contact still, but going to the gym won't be as much fun!





One of our famous shots we took of ourselves. One of about 300. We were masters.

Books #28 & 29

I finally read a Paul Theroux fiction book - The Mosquito Coast. It was alright... fairly memorable and gave me a great dream about exploding ammonia. Can't be that.

I also read Bill Bryson's history of English in his book, "The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way." It wasn't hilarious like his travel books, but I did learn some interesting tidbits about the roots of words and spelling in the English language.

One more book! What will it be?!?!

#20 - Museum Visit #2

This past weekend, Ken and I forced his nephew to go to the Field Museum with us. (We rewarded him with a stop at ESPNZone) I was fairly impressed with the exhibits, although like most museum visits, I was quickly a bit bored and tired of standing. It was nice to finally see Sue and some impressive taxidermy.

Recipe #6 - Fried Plantains with a Sweet Heat Sauce

The sauce brings the heat. The plantains bring the sweet. And the result is sublime.
