Non parlo italiano. — I don’t speak Italian. Parla inglese? — Do you speak English? Non capisco. — I don’t understand. If you can say you don’t speak Italian, in Italian, then honey, you’re speaking Italian. Here’s my basic list of tourist words you need to know in any language: Yes, no, hello, goodbye, sorry, excuse me, please, thank you,...

Beautiful breakfast on our last morning at the Locanda Oseolo. The cured meats in Italy are outstandingly flavorful even in thin slices. The panettone bread was moist and almond flavored. And oh my God the croissants were amazing. Moist and flaky and rich. I think it must have to do with the European butter. Then a skip the line “hidden...
Tucked away in Namaste Plaza, Pacific Poke has really fresh fish and perfect sushi rice. The only 2 things that really matter. This place, and Poke One N Half, is all you need to know.
It’s been a joy to realize we have restaurants within walking distance of our house now. Sunday evenings are the perfect time to stroll to dinner and look for coyotes – we saw 4 the other night. It’s still in the 50s at night, it’ll be good when it starts to get warmer. We’ve been eating a lot at Ototo...

“The implication that Mr. Cruz’s mental health problems could have been solved if only he had been loved more by his fellow students is both a gross misunderstanding of how these diseases work and a dangerous suggestion that puts children on the front line. It is not the obligation of children to befriend classmates who have demonstrated aggressive, unpredictable or...

There are two famous Spanish restaurants in Las Vegas, Jaleo and Julian Serrano. We experienced Jaleo last fall and enjoyed the ambience and the food. But I think the food is better at Julian Serrano – but it’s too bad they’re positioned in Asia’s noisy, cavernous lobby. What you don’t see in the following picture is the 2nd plate of...

I don’t know how old this picture is, but it looks almost exactly like my mom’s kitchen from the early 60s. And if it’s Steve Perry, it must be the 80s

Good thing we didn’t drive up to Vandenberg https://spaceflightnow.com/launch-schedule/
https://gizmodo.com/spacex-s-ambitious-internet-satellite-project-is-set-to-1823004481 Here’s the Reddit r/SpaceX page talking about how to watch launches: https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/wiki/faq/watching/ I thought about driving out to Vandenberg this weekend to see the launch but it seems the sight lines for launch site SLC-4E are not that good. Might be just as good to find a hill in San Diego.
