Brunch at Verve

Pork Belly and Egg Close-up Originally uploaded by Nikchick.

Verve is a spacious wine bar in Columbia City, tucked around the corner from more visible eateries like Jones Barbecue and Geraldine’s Counter. I’d been there once or twice before shortly after they’d opened but for one reason and another hadn’t been back. Until this [...]

Derby Liberation Front had an event at Central Cinema tonight, which involved meeting their “new meat” for this year’s team and a screening of Tank Girl.

Family Day

Had some good quality time with the family today. Chris made breakfast and puttered around in his office while I uploaded photos from Las Vegas to my Flickr account, then we watched an episode of The Shield while Kate tried to satisfy her growing anime obsession through You Tube.

We went out in the afternoon [...]

Portland Photos

I’m spending the morning braving wet (and possibly icy) roads to go pick Kate up from her dad this morning, so a detailed report of the weekend will have to wait. Meanwhile you can get some idea of what we got up to by visiting my Flickr photo set:

Minnesota Wedding

Back from the wedding. I had such a wonderful time. In addition to seeing my step-brothers and all of my extended step-family, my aunt, uncle and grandpa made the trip from Ely for the celebration. I was surprisingly giddy at the chance to see everyone again. I’ll have some thoughts on the trip late, but [...]
