Holiday eating
It was/is the holidays, which means the annual winter visit from my brother, who dwells in the City of Brotherly Love. This, coincidentally, coincides with our family of four hitting the town, and generally eating in style.
Our first stop was the (relatively) freshly minted D’Amico Kitchen at the swank Chambers Hotel. The look of the new space is more welcoming than the old one, with warm,...
Christmas reading
I already had a little bit of a literary log-jam, thanks to the McSweeney’s book sale, but then Christmas really flooded the coffers, and now I have a dilemma on my hands. I had just starting reading Vacation, by Deb Olin Unferth, after finishing Bowl of Cherries, which was odd and satisfying.

For one thing, it’s pretty much what you’re going for, except without all that messy evil of paying real people to make fools of themselves under the guise...
Missing: Ambition
I returned late Monday night after an amazing six days of rest and relaxation in Florida. Since then, I’ve accomplished many-a-thing, none of which have been work related.
So far this morning, I’ve spent three hours staring at my computer screen, as well as numerous Web sites — Twitter (via Seesmic), Gmail, NYT, WSJ, Star Tribune, Soccernet (via ESPN), Tumblr (obviously) —...
