Three Day Weekend
Just got back into town from a long weekend at the beach. Today was not the best beach day, but I took advantage of the relative coolness to go on a long run. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's the longest I've ever run — over 6 miles. Now I've just got to do

Bacon!
For anyone out there who thinks chocolate covered bacon sounds disgusting, you should really taste it. I had been fortunate enough to have the chocolate/bacon combo before, but there were definitely some converts out at the beach this weekend. The dinner menu: crostini with grilled peaches, peppered ricotta with mint, chives, and bacon; grilled shrimp

Long Weekend
Man, am I looking forward to a long weekend! You can tell I've had a busy week, since I haven't managed to post at all. Lame. There were some highlights along the way — a meet-up for the beach house, an opening party for Hundred Acres, some gym time, some couch time, and my second

Woo hoo! Thanks

Weekend Wrapup
Let’s see, where to start. Friday night I went to a concert put on by middle school students from a set of city charter schools. We provide pro bono legal services to the parents of one of the schools, and I’ve got to say, it was so wonderful to see these kids play in the

Good News/Bad News
The good news: I got a much-coveted reservation at Ko for next week. The bad news: My apartment is going to be a half-painted, tarp filled, barely inhabitable disaster over the weekend (but not really that bad — I’ve got offers for places to stay — will be taking you all up on them! And

For the Record
I was in Barnes & Noble this morning and, in fact, the cafe is co-branded with Starbucks — something like "serving Starbucks beverages," and the Starbucks logo. So perhaps I’m not losing it after all. At least not in this particular instance.
