Ain't No Trip to Cleveland


Miles and I decided on a band name, I'm pretty excited about it. Summer continues to be awesome. As much as I love how wintertime feels around here with its fog and rain and heavy trees... I have to admit that summertime feels extra amazing. We had our first river day this past weekend and I was so PLEASED! I feel so lucky and thankful to live in perma-vacation-land. We laid on floaties in the shallows and drank beer and admired the brilliant blue and greens of our surroundings. How far our life has come!

The Weather Is Not Like It Was Before


Another awesome welcome-summertime weekend. Charlie met a young Golden puppy on a walk and they romped together. Charlie pinned the pup, and then let the pup pin him. Then they were pooped & laid down facing each other, paws intertwined. Charlie also got to hang out with us while we played pool. Miles and I played poker, played Wii, drank champagne out in the sun, hung out on our deck and watched one hundred episodes of Friday Night Lights. I have the sweetest pair of gingers ever:

I Beat August Bodine


It's been a fun couple of weeks! Miles and I stayed at the Wynn in Las Vegas for four nights and it felt like such a real vacation. We completed everything on our checklist except for roulette (good) and swimming in the pool (bummer). We: Ate at SW Steakhouse, spent a retarded amount of money at XS at Encore and danced, played tons of poker, did the freefall on top of Stratosphere twice, ordered biscuits & gravy room service, saw Cheryl Hines and Treo Hatchets (Teri Hatcher), paid for our trip in cash, made friends with Bill, and bet on the World Series of Baseball. I continued my excellent record of taking down small Vegas tourneys and won $1300 in one of the Wynn dailies, and angered a cocky young drunkard in the process. It was our funnest trip yet & and we'll certainly stay at the Wynn again.

Last weekend we went ziplining in our backyard... well, in Occidental. It was well worth it.

Charlie has been enjoying the river for some time now, but it's river season now for the humans.

I turn another year older tomorrow.
