Swimming in Erresos

I found a huge monster of the deep! She was 10 feet wide, with big teeth...

All right, maybe it wasn't that big. But still...

Burning Man Pictures

Here's a good link for someone else's Burning Man pictures. And Zora's got an update of our solar-cooking extravaganza. "Hey Zora," I asked, "Do you have any other pictures? Like of our complicated tent set up and all the lines I tied for our shade screen" "No," she said, "Just five picture." Hmmmm. Well see them all on her blog.

Somerville Mass. Yankees vs. Red Sox

I went up to Boston to watch the Red Sox games in good company.

On Saturday, we went to Victor and Nicole's to watch the game. I made us all move to the porch because they have cats. Luckily, the weather was good.

The Red Sox lost. Not a very interesting game, either. But the Red Sox are still in the post season. If you care, you know the details. If you don't care, I won't bore you.

Nicole, John, Rain, Victor, and me. Back in the days, we all worked at Salamander in Cambridge. Mighty fine restaurant that was.



Go Sox (Red, not White)!


Victor, fine cook that he is, had made some wonderful pork.


Buns were toasted with cheddar cheese. Then I had my sandwich with pickles, mayonnaise, onion, tomato, and Vietnamese red pepper sauce. It was good.


John making breakfast in the morning.


Before coffee.


Check out these tomatoes that look like bell peppers. We had bagles and lox.


I also had a nice bike ride, which you can read about here.

Zora in the Baptismal font

Karl sent me the picture I've been waiting for. To see it in context, click here. It's halfway down the post. Here's the text caption:

And the money shot: Zora in the baptismal font. And in case you were wondering, that font wasn’t exactly cemented to the ground. It was like an overgrown flower vase, on a pedestal. It’s made for infants, for crying out loud! Sure I look calm and collected on the outside, but my left arm is gripping that baby pretty good. There was also the moderate risk of Zora’s bed sheet, I mean robe, catching fire. I’m thinking Zora catches fire, in a pool of water, which falls over, priest kids run over and little pails of water, utter chaos… I mean the story would be great, but it can’t be a fortuitous omen for a Christian life.

What’s new? School has started. Went to Burning Man. And another brief trip to Amsterdam for Pep’s wedding. All’s well. I’m still waiting for more pictures from our summer trip. Perhaps posting just slows down in the humidity of late-summer New York.
