Behind the Scenes


Went to Emil & Sara's last night for dinner.  Suffice to say, we ate well and as usual, too much.  It might have been the brownie with just the right amount of ice cream. It is important to get the ratio right.  Sometimes it is like leveling that coffee table. First you don't have enough ice cream, then not enough brownie. We are working on a system but more testing of the hypothesis is necessary.

Emil has set up shop ( http://www.roadtripukuleles.com/ ) in the sun room of the house they are renting. The web site has his first cookie tin banjo on the home page. Check it out. I should buy one of his ukuleles as an investment for the future when he is famous and you have to wait years to pay thousands for the option to order one. It would be part of our never ending local stimulus program.

 As you can see, he gets a lot done in a little space

Small but lots of light.

It's late so no more blah blah for now.
