Matt came by this evening and brought some Onkyo sound equipment he wants Wesley to have. I haven’t looked it over yet but I assume it’s good stuff. Also included are some big, nice Pioneer speakers. I may use those in the living room :) But, the speakers I currently use are very nice. He…
Read More Friday free stuffFirstly, my cafe au lait experiments are going well. I brew a very dark roast at extra strength in a press pot (30g in a 3-cup I’d normally use 20g in) and then froth milk with my espresso machine steam wand. I have been bringing it to the 180-degree low end of scalded. I have…
Read More What a busy dayIn our seemingly endless search for a midweek service, we tried Life Church Rio Rancho, which is very close to our house. We knew basically nothing walking in. There were a total of five people in the congregation, counting our family of three. So, yeah, small church. But the teacher was good and it was…
Read More New church?We have been doing weekly breakfast/brunch day dates the last few weeks. This morn, we tried Cafe Bella Coffee – a place five minutes from here that somehow we didn’t know about it. Pretty upscale, lots of character, kinda expensive. We tried their breakfast bagels, which had egg, Canadian bacon, and a roasted tomato cream…
Read More New cafe, new lamp, new home fellowshipSo, my schedule was a little off. I don’t like non-school days. It was a heavy conversation day. The best part of marriage is you never have to face anything alone ever again. Even personal demons. It’s a beautiful thing. After all many things, we’ve decided the cats win – we’re getting a litter box…
Read More No school todayBut I did get a lot of media sorting done. Consolidated our HHGTTG collection into five folders (one for each Phase), labeled a lot of stuff that’s needed it for a long time. So, that’s good. I’m having to ground Wesley for the second time in his life. For a full week this time. It…
Read More Melancholy SaturdayWe decorated :) And here’s a couple tweets… We’re doing a lot of shopping via apps so far – Amazon and eBay. For Terra, we’re building her a “teleportation chamber” in the living room. Papasan chair, little table for a book or two, a lamp, maybe a picture on the wall of a faraway exotic…
Read More Christmas season is here!In my whole life I’ve rarely known someone so much like myself. We were so close when I lived here before and it’s been over five years since we were last together. We each fill a certain intellectual, cerebral place in each other’s lives that no one else apparently can and shared a closeness very…
Read More Jennifer Joyce came over! :)Here’s right now… It’s been overcast today and yesterday and now it’s drizzling outside. It’s not turning cold fast enough for my taste. I’m ready for real cold. Mornings at Wesley’s bus stop are pretty chilly, overnights are cold, but I’m still keeping the blinds closed in the afternoons or it gets too warm. I…
