Though I wasn’t able to spend Father’s Day this past Sunday with my Dad — Happy Father’s Day, Dad! — I did get to enjoy a delicious meal with my father-in-law, mother-in-law, Jen, and Kat at Gotchya’s. This was following a long couple days of partying at Dan & Shira’s wedding, which was followed by […]

Today is the last day of her job in the publishing industry before she embarks full-time on her new path to being a librarian! Jen’s been working in publishing for nearly the past 10 years and […]

I went running yesterday afternoon for the first time in way too long. And for the first time ever, I know what it feels like to have a 30-year-old body. Sure, I’ve been 30 for nearly two months now, but I haven’t really done anything that has made me feel that I’m 30. Wheezing. Aching […]

Back in 2001 when I was between jobs, Stella and I made the most of it by frolicking on the beach at Crissy Field in San Francisco nearly every day after we took Jen to work. It was awesome and the best three months of unemployment ever. We lived in a beautiful city and I […]

Since it’s still the month of my birth, I’m going to attempt a triumphant return to blogging — on a topic related specifically to my birth, which I’ve been wanting to blog about for a long time. So here we go. Words and photos can hardly do it justice, but just over a month ago […]

It was five years ago today when Nana left this earth. For the fifth year in a row, I blog in her honor today. She touched so many lives, and the essence of her being lives on. We had some friends over tonight — one, who, like Nana was, is a Leo — and I […]

Big congrats to my bro, Peter, who ran in and completed the L.A. Marathon yesterday! He finished in an incredible 3 hours, 37 minutes, and 33 seconds (3:37:33), which, from what I understand, is pretty damn good. Considering I haven’t run a full mile — let alone 26 — in ages, I can appreciate the […]

Guess what we had in our refrigerator? Yup, the salmonella peanut butter! Woohoo! Recall taints lunchtime staple: Shoppers are warned to throw out jars with a product code on the lid beginning with “2111.” That’s what we get for buying non-hippie peanut butter like the stuff I was raised on.
