Day 3,455: End of an Era?

The Warriors lost tonight to go down 2-0 for the first time in Steph’s 13-year (14?) playoff history. Credit to the Kings. In just two games, it’s apparent that they are the better team. I’m not saying it’s over; it’s entirely possible for the Warriors to steal this series, but if they win it will be exactly that: theft. And it just has me wondering…

Was last year’s title it? Will that be the last one? Are the Dubs washed up? Over the hill? I honestly don’t know. Steph isn’t. Not this year. B...

Day 3,454: Complicated Math

Home.

HOME.

There’s no place like it. I know so many people come to LA and could never imagine living here, but this is home. For me. For Liz. For so much of our chosen family. We love it here, truly.

That’s my thought for tonight. I’m wiped. WIPED.

Night.

Day 3,453: Rogers

Well, damn. Warriors lost game 1 against the Kings. I mean, it’s certainly not the end. The Warriors have been down in plenty of series during their dynasty run. I’d be very surprised to see them bow out early. BUT…

Here’s the thing: all signs from this year point to them just not having it. They have, literally, the second or third-worst road record in the NBA. They’re a terrible team on the road, and that shit does not fly in the playoffs. Nor does starting to the contest all the way down a...

Day 3,452: Murder!

Up in the Land of Port! Good to be here. Miss the pups. So good to see my bro, man. And Addie. And J! Got to see her for some dinner, some wine, and some dessert. Got food from Bollywood Theatre, which is one of my favorite places. I swear we go there almost every time we come up. Legit: Indian food might be my favorite cuisine. Might be.

It was sunny and warm out today. The first nice day it sounds like they’ve had up here so far this year. Glad to have been able to participate. All the flow...

Day 3,451: The Pacific Northwest!

I’m with my bro. It’s awesome. Been a while. Last…October, I think. It feels longer because we usually get together for the holidays, and this year yet again it just didn’t work out. Sigh. Good to see him.

Trip was easy. Our setup down in the guest room/basement is nice and cozy. Weather isn’t supposed to suck while we’re here. I dooo have to work tomorrow, but hopefully nothing too crazy. We’ll see. Waiting for feedback.

Excited just to be here with Scott and Addie for the weekend. Night ...

Day 3,450: JTTW

Late! But, only because the Ho and I were packing for our little trip tomorrow evening. Almost all packed; tomorrow morning I’ll gather up all the toiletries.

Solid writing session this morning. Didn’t get an evening one in because I got a work project handed to me right at 5pm and there were follow up questions and coordinatings and wrapping my head around what exactly the ask was galore. It’s okay. That happens. At least I had a good morning session. Whew!

Anyway…off to bed. Night night....

Day 3,449: A bit more…

According to my apple watch, I’m averaging around 7 hours and 15 minutes of sleep a night at my current bed time and wake-up time. Hmmm. Not good enough. Need to be closer to 8…and it’s funny, just that extra half-hour I can FEEL, man. It’s hard, though, because I really do need to be up by 6:45-7 in order to get in a full writing session before work. And it’s really, REALLY hard for me to fall asleep before around 11:15.

It’s a conundrum. I think I’m going to adjust, though, by having my ala...

Day 3,448: Good Boy

We had dinner al fresco tonight. So fancy to say it that way, innit? It was flat-out GORGEOUS outside this evening, a fact that became apparent as we were taking the pups on nighttime walkos. And so we were like: why don’t we go eat outside?

Joy, however, was wildly energetic. And Snacks was out in the backyard. So, I was like: let’s have Joy go and run her energy out with Snacks. Only problem is that she needs to be supervised because otherwise she will eat every wood chip, stick and other f...
