Holiday madness

Dashing through December...

I went to Largo with my dad last night. We both love the Largo Salad. I ordered us two Harps (on tap) and he seemed to enjoy it. The Watkins show was good, but not nearly as amazing as it was last month. I am going back in January to see Davíd Garza, and I haven't decided who I will ask to come with me.

I am going power-shopping tonight.

I am so looking forward to the big road trip next week!

The weather is weirdly warm these past few days. What the heck is that about? Our girls are asking the best Santa Claus questions. Ivy wanted to know how old he is, and Viviana wants to know how the elves know how to make toys just like the toys in the store.

I was thinking while I was driving (I do that a lot), and I was trying to find an example of other artful expressions within the animal kingdom. Is it an uniquely human thing? I know there are birds who utilize dance in their mating rituals, but does a monkey ever pick a flower and put it in his cubby just to marvel at its beauty? Do coyotes whoop and howl in harmonic togetherness because they like the way it sounds? What does it all mean?

Someone left a huge box of See's candy on the breakroom table today. There weren't any walnut clusters in the top layer, so I lifted it up and accessed the bottom layer...I'm a smart monkey. It was a liberating, self-empowering moment. But, alas, there were no walnut clusters there, either. So, I took an almond-square instead.
