But damn is she somethin’ — Kaki King — We just watched “August Rush”, whose contrived plot is almost as unbearable as the beauty of the undiluted love and music, which are transportive in places, however saccharine at times. The actors are all really musicians, save for the main character, who actually played his pieces though was overdubbed and had […]

Matthew, Kate, Daryl, Jerry, Peter, Goose,  Hannah, Jen, Hilary, and Emma. This year we had eleven people for Christmas dinner.  Jen cooked pork tenderloin which was delicious,  and twice baked potatoes with lots of cheese and butter, but she was disappointed after all her efforts failed to produce “the centerpiece of the table.” Peter, the […]

Matt and Sarah T found this year’s tree at John Lewis’ favorite farm, Cucurbit. The next day they decorated it which might mark the first year that job hasn’t been left to Susan. I came in too late to take a photo that included Sarah, but note the whimsical addition at the bottom right.
