…but I tried an espresso drink from McDonald’s. So sue me!!! It was Sunday evening, I was on the road, and nothing else was open.
But you should be glad that I tried it so you don’t have to. It tastes exactly like you’d expect espresso drinks from McDonald’s to taste: like sugar and water. Blech!!
So yeah, please PLEASE don’t tell my friends.
Have you noticed that there hasn’t been anything funny on this site lately? I think it’s my sleep apnea taking its toll on me. My creativity is the first to go. I’d say I’ll try harder to be funny, but that would only result in less funny. So thanks for sticking around during these boring times.
Speaking of boring, yesterday we drove to the Northern coast of the Olympic Peninsula. We saw lots of tide pool inhabitants, as well as forest creatures, but no cetaceans. Every time I get on a ferry, I hope and pray that I will see porpoises. It’s only happened once, and only for a split second, but it was awesome. Everyone gets a boner for orcas and no one seems to care about porpoises. Bleh.
Here are two things we saw. First, a very very small spider in a flower:
Second, a sanddab in a tide pool. It was so cute and small! I love him!
And then we saw a buffalo giving birth.
This is the first time in my life I have ever seen a flying fish fly! And it’s probably one of the longest recorded flights ever in history! Thanks Taisha!
Watch out ladies, he might wile you with his ability to point out $20 bills and photograph himself, sometimes simultaneously!
Thanks Kevin and Phyllis!
This year Jennifer and I will be driving from Seattle to Salt Lake City, to Denver, to Roswell, to Phoenix, to Los Angeles, and back home, with stops in between for whatever we feel like doing.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Anything you think we should absolutely not miss?
When I was a child, my mother mowed lawns for a living. She did this, she said, because she needed a job that allowed her to bring me with her.
One day while she was cutting grass at a restaurant called The Red Maple, I was pretending to be a member of the Ghostbusters. I crossed paths with a patron coming out of the restaurant and said, “The Stay Puft Marshmallow man is coming!”
“Oh no! I’m getting out of here!” he said, and then he left.
I felt so bad. I was only kidding, and it didn’t occur to me that he was going to leave anyway. I thought he believed me.
I thought you might want to read this exchange I’m having with a friend of a friend about pre-marital sex. I think the fundamentalist attitude towards sex is a recipe for disaster, and I’ve seen the effects of those disasters. He’s in favor of it though. We’ll see what happens.
The blogger requires that all comments be approved before posting, and it sometimes takes a while for him to get around to it, so keep checking back in the next couple days.
Last Saturday I went to see a Seattle-based band called Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head. They’re a great and fun band, and you should listen to their music! As evidence I offer you this video I took of their final song, Ice Age Babeland. As always, I apologize for the horrible sound quality.
