Yesterday Erik was hiking with his friend T at Pt Reyes. I went to church in the morning and then took a walk in the wind. I got a creepy comment from the crazy lady downstairs as I passed her door. She said, “Man, I don’t think you’re blind.” So I thought about that all… Read More »

resolved

I am in love with Greek yogurt. It’s at Trader Joe’s. The screwy thing is that the plain nonfat is the same color and shape container as the plain whole milk. So I was trying to buy the nonfat and got the whole milk on accident. I kid you not when I say that one… Read More »
