Coming off my reading of mythic/hero stories, I thought I’d cast about for something a little different as an organizing principle for my reading over the next few months. Every summer I try to read at least one Jeeves and Wooster story. This summer on our road trip I read “Right, Ho, Jeeves” Written in …
Carla headed out to Ashland with her two sisters to see a couple of plays. One of them is Pride and Prejudice. Funny thing about entertainment: Carla’s thought was “I can’t wait” while mine was more of “Oh, I dodged the bullet”. Regardless, she was going to be gone and I needed a project to …
Monday August 23, 2010 We got back from our road trip on Saturday and I had today off to run errands and what-not. Having a little time this afternoon, I thought I’d grill some Santa Maria Tri-Tip. When I picked them up at the butcher’s, he asked what I was going to to with them. …
