italian bf on custard cam in alexandria, va

italian bf is hanging out at the Del Ray Dreamery before his yoga class with Margaret at River's Edge Yoga. I'm so jealous...but at least I got to live vicariously through the custard cam!

sunset park brooklyn

MMM. Brooklyn. italian bf and I just spent the night at a hotel on 49th between 2nd and 3rd. our first night in the same bed since Labor Day weekend. 49th between 2nd and 3rd...no, not the east side of manhattan. this is brooklyn. and there is a great mexican bakery/restaurant just a few blocks away on 4th ave (www.donpacolopez.com) . we had a quesadilla with cheese, zucchini blossoms and corn fungus. there are some extremely beautiful blocks, in terms of architecture around here. and the gentrification seeping south from park slope doesn't seem to have made it's way down here too strongly yet...but i don't know what the real estate market around here has done. We are off to the airport to pick up italian bf's parents...but first a stop back to the mexican place for sandwiches. I stopped there this am and for $2 got a cup of coffee con leche and two fresh mexican baked sweets...a sugary croissant and one of those circular baked things with the thick powdery sugar on top in the shape of a sea shell.

steer speck

If you click on one of the photos, you'll see the "steer speck" on my face. It's like a "fly speck" but from a castrated male cow, not a fly.

back to the farm!

mmm, working cattle is fun!

Martin, thanks for sending me this link. I can't stop watching it. For the uninitiated, this is a video about the pre-Lucy fossil recently unveiled in the pages of my former employer, the journal Science.
