What I’m reading:<\/em> Samaritan<\/a>\"\", by Richard Price.<\/p>\n

What I’m listening to:<\/em> My new iPod, because my old one blew up after only 2 years of use: grr!<\/p>\n

What I’m watching:<\/em> Forgetting Sarah Marshall<\/a> and the first episode of Mad Men<\/a>. Observations: Mila Kunis<\/a> is adorable, and Mad Men fell a bit flat\/heavy-handed\/eh after our experience with The Wire<\/em>. I have a feeling that a lot of TV is going to fall into the same category after that series.<\/p>\n

What I’m drinking:<\/em> Ristow Cabernet Sauvignon 2000 on Saturday night and<\/em> Sunday night. I’m up to two\u00c2\u00a0 drinks a week, but I still haven’t had a G&T since 9\/26, partly because I’m too lazy to pick up limes & tonic at the supermarket.<\/p>\n

What Rufus is up to:<\/em> His first Sunday morning greyhound hike<\/a> in Wawayanda State Park! Check out the pix<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Where I’m going:<\/em> No plans, but we’ll likely go back to the park on Sunday.<\/p>\n

What I’m happy about:<\/em> The Red Sox lost game 7!!!<\/p>\n

What I’m sad about:<\/em> That my jury duty number for today turned out to be past the cutoff, so I don’t get to spring my “I can SMELL guilt!” line.<\/p>\n

What I’m pondering:<\/em> Whether I can go into a medically-induced coma to skip the next 2 weeks of electioneering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
