Haven't made an entry here in quite some time. Haven't had much to write about really.

But just a couple of days ago, a MASSIVE tree limb fell from the neighboring lot and hit our garage and destroyed a section of our wood fence. The insurance guys should be here in about an hour or two. Huge pain in the ass for us.

Sorry I haven't been around LJ much, you guys. But it's summertime. Rainy season is over. More stuff to do when the sun comes out. Important things like...um, I dunno...going outside.

Maybe even have a Hot Pot while we're there. I know my wife misses it. Last time I was in Hangzhou we had one. I didn't realize that it contained goat spine until we were done ( Read more... )

I put the turkey in the oven not long ago. Every Thanksgiving, I always worry that the turkey won't turn out right and just generally suck. This will be my daughter's first taste of a freshly cooked turkey so it definitely needs to be done well. We've alreay eaten some of the pumpkin pie. I think we've left enough for later.
