Triscribe

So, I’m back in Brooklyn. Many things to catch up on; the desire for a vacation from vacation is also very much on the mind. Anyway, where was I? My brief Thursday to Saturday summary wasn’t done nearly with enough justice! Saturday: Legoland was fun – clearly for the younger set, but we old people [...]

Today’s Triscribe’s fourth anniversary.  Thanks for your part in continuing this story! Mosquitoes: I seem to be attracting them the past week or two, or maybe it’s the same one. P doesn’t have any bites, but I’ve picked up a half dozen or so. There’s one really annoying welt on a knuckle on my left [...]

In summary: Thursday – late plane; check in to hotel across the street from Disneyland; Millie’s Restaurant and Bakery, near the hotel; Downtown Disneyland (which was evidently inspired by (new) Times Sq., which was inspired by Disneyland (kind of head-scratching there); Anaheim Angels game (I’d still call them “Anaheim Angels,” ’cause they’re [...]

Someone who is a great guy and showed me so much…. Read about Russian Paul. Now I know approximately how old he is hah!

Am in Beijing today and tomorrow, flying back through Typhoon Wipra perhaps on Wednesday. Was a strange weather experience.  Overcast this morning and hazy. Ok but then the weather took a turn for the nasty ugly.  After lunch time, the weather turned darker and from the 19th floor, couldn’t see anything. By 3pm, it was [...]

This week is birthday central, with 5 bdays to celebrate – P’s best friend and maid of honor on the 12, P and my mom on the 15th, and P’s dad, brother and other friend on the 16th. Wednesday: Essex. Judeo-Hispanic cuisine. Sentimental favorite because that was were P and I met for brunch for [...]

Sooo need to get far, far away from my office. May possibly blog from Cali, but no guarantees. Wednesday night – joined friends to celebrate a certain [...]
