Just dropping a line to let y’all know I’m still alive. The high fever continued through Monday. Reduced to low grade for the past two days as I marched along to put on a Big Conference yesterday. I spent the night at the hotel on Tuesday and had 3 hours of sleep. That was what I got for $200, a room on the 4th floor by the freeway. The entire crew of Tokyo Drift must have been practicing outside my window all night. Needless to say, right after the event, with the blessing of my boss, I went home and...

That was the temperature I woke up with at 4:45 a.m. this morning. Only once has it dipped below 100 but only for an hour if that. I’ve been hovering around 101 all day with occasional 102s. Seriously man. Just shoot me....

It’s beautiful outside. So Cal is having a summer weekend again. Brandon is out and about. But here I am at home. I told you my boss has this coughing cold, right? Of course, I caught it.

In that order for the evening. First, food. Valentine’s Day voluntary potluck tradition at the office continues under my watch. I haven’t heard much discussion of who is bringing what this year, which usually mean that table in our tiny break room is going to be PACKED with stuff. It always happens that way. All I know is Celeste is bringing a chocolate cream pie. And I just put my champagne brie fondue in the fridge. I stopped at home to hunt down a fondue recipe before I went grocery shopping. Brandon, recovering from a mini strep throat (poor baby),...

Because Olaina loves me, last night she called me while in the major chain grocery store just to let me know that 6-pack of Guinness are on sale. Because somehow I have become a wayward future alcoholic, my thought on the Guinness news was that I didn’t have any space in my fridge so perhaps I should start making room by drinking some beer in there. Because I actually still love my liver and sanity, I did not follow through with that thought. After all, there is still 1/3 jar of Mai Tai chilling in the fridge. (Anyone wants to...

The season has begun. Please head over to congratulate Beth Fish and Chris Rude Cactus with the new addition to their family Owen Gregory “Wally”. The ever so adorable Mia Bean has a little brother! Following Beth/Chris/Mia’s footsteps, within the next few weeks, I have 4 more pregnant friends due. I’m not sure who’s going first but I think James and Aurora go first with Dresden William “Peanut”. Then Nan and Mike are expecting a baby sister for Owen. Then Celeste’s brother and his wife will welcome their son Noah, a baby brother to Sadie. Coming in last is Shane’s...
