- I can now change a bike tube (even on the rear wheel!), clean and lube the chain and put the chain back on the bike if it falls off, all thanks to the eccentric bike mechanic running the free workshops at REI.
- Julia and I biked to work again on Friday. We might start biking to work on other days too. We’re so cool!
- Clinton and I saw the slightly erotic, full zombie version of A Streetcar Named Desire at the Common Ground Theater, complete with live band, on Friday night. If you have a chance to see it while it’s still playing, I recommend it. Sooo strange, gritty and very funny.
- Ran seven miles yesterday with 11 (!!!) of the now 19 members of the Carolina Forest Fartleking team. Jumped in the car to go meet Clinton at the Durham Farmer’s Market (the best market in the world) and introduce Charlie (possibly one of the cutest dogs in the world) to the sights, sounds and smells of the market. Charlie loved it and was on his best behavior.
- Ratatouille wins Crystal’s “Best Movie of the Year Award”. I cackled through the whole film like a 6-year-old high on Pixie Sticks. This movie will tickle your funnybone and make you hungry. Also very uplifting.
- We just ate Sunday brunch at Rick’s Diner, and I feel a little sick. Not any fault of Rick’s Diner, but probably what I ordered: a plate of deep-fried hot pepper rings, two blueberry pancakes and one very yolky egg. Topped off with black coffee and the crunchy tails from Clinton’s jumbo prawns…
