My Vacation Home in the California Gold Country is Officially up for Grabs
Thanks for the emails. I love the love. What follows is the story and I’ll endeavor to make it an interesting story. It begins when we originally entered into a sales contract around October of 2001. Problems ensued. The seller had built the cabin too close to the property line and there’s a setback requirement.…Read More
Don’t Expect Much; Then Rock a Bit
I can’t even recall my last post. I know it was while in SoCal last week, and its end, then we went home and within a couple of days, departed — to convert our long time personal and private use mountain cabin into a vacation rental. Many reasons for that and, no fucking need of…Read More
Idle Thoughts About Blogging: Relevance is Irrelevant
…But first, some idle food porn. My youngest brother is accomplished as well, though I chastised him for not using a white plate for contrast. Flank Steak Click on the image for the hi-res.

Sunday Rock – Friday’s Furthur Concert & Jingo
A week or so ago my brother rang me up. “Hey, I’ve got four VIP box tickets for a concert next Friday at Shoreline. You and Bea wanna go with Dawn & I?” I really didn’t pay any attention to who it was — with all the balls I’ve been juggling, lately — and I…Read More
The Individually Optimal Diet: Piss Everyone Off
My last post on fruit consumption pissed some people off. Good. My previous posts from way back on including potatoes in your plan pissed some people off. Good. A previous post that mentioned using rice as a hypoalergenic source of starch in the diet pissed some people off. Good. I piss off vegetarians and vegans…Read More
