hanging at the delightful airport, nice and early for my flight to SFO.
will be there a few days with family before leaving the country for a week or so.
hope to be back by second week of january.
thank for all your kind words.
maybe i'll do some stuff on the road, since really, there isn't that much to do anyway at least for me.
i do have a movie recommendation: "Straight up."
Perhaps the most well written film i've seen in a few years.
its the kind of writing that requires you throwing on the subtitles, because lines fly by that are too good to miss. i've watched it twice, and found new things.
the plot is a love story. an actual Platonic love story.
pretty rare these days.
Is there a cookie that instantly takes you back to someone special? Spill the crumbs—I want to know what sweet treats live in your memory.
I’ll go first. My parents? Total cookie lovers. . We always had a stash of Pinwheels (those chocolate-covered marshmallow beauties), old-school iced oatmeal cookies, and those ridiculously fun frosted animal cookies that made snack time feel like a party. It was such a treat for us kids to have cookies.
And when the cookie jar ran dry? No problem. I’d play mad kitchen scientist—mixing margarine (yes, the fake butter), sugar, and a little flour until I had a makeshift cookie dough. Desperate times, delicious measures.
Your turn. What cookie takes you there?
