a little time on my hands tonight.

first band i saw when i was 17. they opened for Journey in Little Rock. Thought I had seen God when Phil Lynott came on stage and then when he sang? I truly was converted...

I love cooking for Tday

Red/white wine/sparkling water.

my girlfriend is bringing the pies. She is a for real chef and i bow before her pie crust! will be small this year just 5 of us, have cooked for up to 20 and truly loved it - although i was so stressed that when i sat down at the table i realized that i was pie-eyed shitfaced as i had started 'sipping' at 8 and served at 3!

I love taking orders and making what folks like best. my boy likes his roasted sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts WITHOUT the pancetta. Simon wants his parsnips and mash. Susan wants all of it. Marc likes the homemade bread and wild mushroom dressing.
despite whatever, we have so much to be grateful for. we have our health, a powerful love for each other and for life, our dreams and fierce determination to prevail and do great things.

i loved our weekend

I think we finally relaxed.
