September 25, 2019: Still in L.A. – mostly driving around!

It’s never a good sign when your uber driver can’t figure out google maps.   I honestly think I spent fully half of today inside a car either going somewhere or leaving. Two very good pitch meetings today.  Author Craig Davidson (aka Nick Cutter) and I have finally nailed down our delivery – just in…

September 24, 2019: My trip so far in pictures!

Akemi is loving this hotel more than I am, although she’s disappointed that, for a dog-friendly hotel, she’s hasn’t seen one dog.  She’s a big fun of the rustic motif.  I find the neighborhood somewhat lacklustre – outside of a nearby Shake Shack. To this point, this has been a trip told in burgers.  Of…

September 23, 2019: L.A. Day #1!

Following an exhausting travel day capped off with dinner I almost slept through, I am finally settled in and rarin’ to go.  I don’t love the location of this new hotel, but I deferred to Akemi on this one because of its dog-friendly promotion.  Although, to be fair, I recall seeing dogs at the old…

September 22, 2019: Suji Sunday!

While Akemi and I are enroute to L.A., Suji and Lulu are no doubt enjoying a relaxing getaway with our dog-sitter.  Suji in party mode! In the wild. Separated at birth?   Alrighty!  See you next week! Au revoir! And, uh, where do you think YOU’RE going?

September 19, 2019: The secret to a good mash!

Came across this weirdly interesting video this morning:  Cover your plate in cheese at this restaurant pic.twitter.com/AEMBnwm70s — Food Insider (@InsiderFood) September 18, 2019 Aligot is basically cheese and mashed potatoes, but it seems closer to fondue than anything I’m used to.  Not sure if this is an extreme preparation of the dish but, all…

Mind Over Matter and Malignant Masses

I arrived in Montreal to discover my mother at the kitchen table, making her funeral arrangements.  “I’d like Theresa to sing,”she said, dutifully taking note on the handwritten page sitting before her.  “After that, people can speak. They don’t need to go to the front.  They can just stand up and talk where they are.”…
