i travel with my posse
met up with georg and sarah at tonali last night; in one of those perfect timing things, s & d called just before i left to see if i wanted to get dinner, so i brought them along.
which turned out to be a smooth move, because besides the lively dinner conversation (and as always tasty food), they invited us all back to their place after dinner to attack the top of their wedding cake, which they had no interest in keeping for their anniversary.
i love wedding cake. i love cake.

this morning the moses allowed me to sleep in. i was dimly aware of him coming and going several times through the night, but i never fully became conscious until 9:30 this morning, which was nice.
when i opened the back door to enjoy the cool morning air and gaze upon yesterday's handiwork, i realized there was an odd but familiar sound coming from my neighbors' yard. not the terrible neighbors next door who yell and treat their dog in a questionable manner and never mow their yard. no, the folks on the other side of them, who just moved in late last year.
so i stood on the porch and realized that the sound was the sound of a push mower-- the kind with no engine, just a reel of blades-- and that my neighbor must do this every weekend in the morning while the air is cool. and it turns out that she does it in a pajamas. which i found both amusing and adorable, and made me wish we could pinch the house between us out of existence and send all of its miserable residents along to a happier place where they have enough bedrooms, and a properly fenced yard with a dog house.
