Busy day today! I had a good amount of work to get done, which I did, AND I got to go out to a wine store in Pasadena and get a couple bottles of wine I’d wanted to grab since coming back from our trip to wine country. They had them. And I got to listen to my...

Today was the last Oakland A’s game in Oakland, ever. That’s, man…that is a weird, very messed up thing to be typing. The Oakland A’s have been a thing my entire life. They’ve been MY thing since…1989, or thereabouts, the year they won the World Series against the San...

Joy does this thing while I’m writing my journal entries for the night where she goes down onto the floor for a while, sniffs around for a while, and then comes to my side of the bed on her hind legs, ears back, and kinda of prances to ask me to lift her back up. We...

It’s dark in the house tonight. We lost power a few hours ago. There was the popping sound of an explosion a little ways off, and the power went out a split second later. Pretty sure that means it was a transformer blowing or something like that, but the DWP says...

A wonderful last day in Portland! Oh man, it was great. Quality time. Scott was even able to get home in time from work to join us on the trip over to the airport. The flight home was an adventure in the sense that there was a (very, very minor) issue with the plane...

Had a great day today! Haircuts, fried chicken, walks, a soak in the Kennedy School pool, bike rides with my bro, and just the best best BEST weather ever. A really, really wonderful day. Now, time for sleeps.

Man…port wines are gooooood shit. Just had a lovely evening of sitting out in Scott and Addie’s backyard by the fire pit, drinking wine and eating food. It was lovely. We ended up eating these cookies we’d got from New Seasons and opening this port-style dessert wine...

A really amazing day up in Portland. Love these guys so much. It’s late, so making this one a short one, but we had a really wonderful day. Good food. Good company. Night night.

We made it up to Portland! Lucha is down on the bed with us, she just came down, and I love it. Gonna make this one quick because it’s sleepy time, but glad to be here. Work was busy today, but I got it all done. And now we’re here. Can’t wait to spend QT with the...

The book is done. Off to my co-writer, who will send it off to our editor for a nice, good polish. Whew! Feels good. This is the earliest in the year I’ve ever finished a book. I like that. I want to beat it next year by a lot. Wish me luck! We leave tomorrow to go up...
