Our Yearly Playlist

Thomas Keller’s Fried Chicken & Waffles

Sonia hustled for 6 months to get a reservation at this underground tasting experience housed in the Beastie Boy’s former music studio. It didn’t disappoint.

Tough way to end a dream season. On the bright side, the rest of my October just opened up.

Benjamin Button

First time in five years that Hemingway went to the Vet and the news was good. Diagnosis: A healthy, cancer free senior dog. Biggest surprise was that his heart murmur regressed (Rarely happens). It went from advanced heart disease one year ago to very mild today. I will now add his supplement regime to my own. Look into these Grandpa. CoQ10 and Artemisinin.

Headed back home. My least favorite season in California is fire season.

Couldn’t have been a more beautiful three days in Bend. New construction is booming, and home prices are sky high, so we’ll continue to travel until we find that under the radar gem.

A nice tributary of the Deschutes River.
