Yesterday I had a meeting with somebody and I brought with me a bar of chocolate for him. He didn’t want it, explaining that he didn’t want to gain weight, then reluctantly accepted it, and then demanded I share it. I didn’t want to share because after the meeting I was going to the gym, […] After one of my colleagues did me a favor, I offered to bring her a bottle of wine, or something. She rejected my offer and said, “I want Christmas cookies!” So I thought, “sure, why not?” I was going to make cutout cookies, but given how much work I’ve had to accomplish this weekend, I […] …but what does it really mean? I spent my final weekend away on this trip visiting Koko and Boy, my two friends who have changed Indiana-no-place into Indianapolis with a nice home overlooking a small lake, a beautiful kitchen, and excellent conversation. Although her birthday was Thursday, he big celebration was held Friday evening, when I showed up. I brought with […] I had lunch with a couple of my excellent colleagues today.

Mentally I’d settled on going to the Irish Lion—until I popped into […] My first day in Bloomington I took a trip to see one of Bloomington’s Celebrity Chefs: Jen. I’m lucky enough to call Jen a friend and I’ve known her a long time – and I am a regular reader of her blog, That Pain in the Ass Vegan. Jen is, in a word, amazing, […] This trip I spent a couple nights in Indy attempting to adjust to local time while visiting Koko and Boy.
