This little pig was high on drugs
On the way home after three days in Tagaytay, we stopped at Sta. Rosa, Laguna for dinner. We decided three days earlier that we would eat at Pig Out and we did. The curious thing was that as soon as we were seated, instead of picking up the menu — which is automatic with Sam [...]...

Christmas decorating is a family affair
So there was this wreath, a wreath I was very happy with because it was unique — no holly, no acorns, no berries, no poinsettias. And I was mighty proud to put it up on the front door. We did that yesterday afternoon.

I went sailing
I’m back. No more future posts. For now. I’ve taken down the notice on the sidebar that I’m out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. I am going through the comments in both blogs and the messages that remained unopened for more than nine days.
