Great Review

I received one of my best reviews so far.  Unfortunately (humiliatingly) it wasn't for a photo I've taken or something I've written.  It was for bar tending.

The praise came from a user review on citysearch.com that read, in part:

The apple tart with ice cream and caramel was a good ending for the meal. We then stopped at the bar for a after dinner drink. That is where we met a really cool bartender, Pablo. I think that is his name. He can converse about anything. Fun guy. The only shortfall was the wine list. It was limited in selection, but adequate. I am going back tonight for their $5 house martinis.

So there I am, sandwiched between apple tart and $5 house martinis.  My dad would be so proud.

Snow

We had our first storm of the winter, and I was lucky enough to have had an appointment during the very heart of it that I couldn't reschedule.  A trip that should have taken 35 minutes each way was slowed to four hours, split almost perfectly at two hours each way.  I listened to a lot of news radio (NPR and Air America).  As a kid I distinctly remember thinking, who the fuck gets a radio then just listens to people talk?  The radio, I believed, was at its very essence, a musical instrument. 

Three Days to L.A.

I wrote a short piece that DivineCaroline.com was kind enought to feature.  

"A promise we make to our children."

Cool. Unflappable. Suave. Stately...

I'm going to spend way too much time at this website over the next few years.
