Firstly, 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…

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 SaturdayLately, we’ve decided we watch movies way too frequently. So we’ve decided to try some audio theater for a while. Evenings with the whole family on the couch in front of the fireplace – yet not all staring into the tv. My previous wife and I did a lot of modern (70s and later) audio…
Read More Podio Theater is the reinvention of audio theater I’ve waited years forWoke up at around 330am and Moogle wasn’t in bed with us. That just doesn’t happen. So I got up and looked around the house – no Moogle. So I grabbed my flashlight and went outside, quietly calling to him. We live at an intersection, one street of which has an occasional car even late…
Read More Sept 14, 2012 – our last FridayIt hardly matters since Terra’s side job is on Saturdays and we have to get up at the usual time anyway. Though, she’s usually home by 11 or 12 and then the weekend begins. And this weekend should be a good one :) I copped out and made tuna helper tonight. The chicken bake thing…
