Jerome's! Another chapter.

This blog performed its most important function 18 years ago when Sasha read parts of it before our blind date. She decided it would be good to get to know me. . . :) Compared to that there's not much to say, except that we're still finding ways to keep our adventure interesting.

The boys are 9 and 11 now and much more independent than they used to be. That's why it has been a good time to open a bar!

We are partnered with Ian Daly, who Sasha worked with at the House of Music. Jerome's is a casual sports bar with a slant towards board sports, New England pro sports teams, and a healthy dose of music. It's such a comfortable place, and we're having a great time!

Thanks to all our friends and family who have helped us to get this done! C'mon by and say "hi"!

Finally FooDart!

Well, we now have the audio to our Pecha Kucha presentation! It's not like being there, but at least people can at least hear what we said. I hope you all enjoy this. It's a product of many weird evenings.

Whoosh. . . bump.

This is pulled out from the archives. . . . ice sledding in PDX.

I joined the Portland Ultimate League this summer, and I'm happy to say we had our first WIN last night! This win comes after three tough losses, so I think we (the whole team) are very happy. We really played solidly: few drops, few thrown away passes, excellent ZONE defense. If you want to keep tabs on our progress you can go here, and feel free to come and watch some games if you so desire.

Also, Sasha has taken some great pictures of us playing, and I hope to put a few of those up at some point.

All in good fun

OK! If you're serious about having fun with this entry. . . then you'll have to follow my intructions exactly. Otherwise, you will have fun, but only in a limited way. Here goes:

1. Get Edy's vanilla ice cream
2. Get Gritty McDuffs Best Brown Ale
3. Eat and drink. It's just a great flavor combo! No, I have not actually made a beer float yet. That's why you should!
4. Watch this great dance while you enjoy the food. It was sent to me by Toph Cyll.
Tread Mill Dance

5. Read the following email that was forwarded to me:
(This is adult humor, no laughing allowed!)

The Washington Post runs a weekly contest in its Style section called
the "Style Invitational". The requirements this week were to use the
two words Lewinsky (The Intern) and Kaczynski (the Unabomber) in the
same limerick. The following winning entries, remember, were printed
in the newspaper.
---

Third place:
There once was a gal named Lewinsky
Who played on a flute like Stravinsky
'Twas "Hail to the Chief"
On this flute made of beef
That stole the front page from Kaczynski.

Second place:
Said Clinton to young Ms. Lewinsky,
We don't want to leave clues like Kaczynski,
Since you made such a mess,
Use the hem of your dress
And please wipe that stuff off of your chinsky."

And the winning entry:
Lewinsky and Clinton have shown
What Kaczynski must surely have known
That an intern is better
Than a bomb in a letter
When deciding how best to be blown


6. Now, if that wasn't too much for you I tried writing my own:

I just need to ask you one question.
Is Kaczynski a man of affection?
If Lewinsky were there?
And He in Bill's chair?
No silly, that's just an erection.

I hope you had fun. Have a great day!
