Coronation feast mods
I made a change to the menu. It's not so much for financial reasons, although the change will be easier on the budget. Mostly it's because it sounds tasty and I think fits the menu better ( Read more... ) -

I finished the purple class yesterday. It was a really fun and interesting subject to put together. One day I might have to flesh it out more for a larger article. Right now, even with just a "high points" approach, it's over 1700 words. Hey -- should I play Prince music in the background? I mean, he's the Purple One and they had princes back ( Read more... ) -

PUF 2010 is over. It was grand and it was weird. It was labeled by some as "PUF the 13th", but others said it was fabulous. All in all, I guess it was a typical PUF.
Had lunch with Chuck and lrainey on Sunday. Good food, good friends, good conversation. Few things are better.
It was A-MA-ZING to see people that I haven't seen in years -- John and ( Read more... ) -

Once again, my head is too full of ideas. This time, however, I'm trying to write them all down so I'll remember them when I have more time ( Read more... )
