in Eugene less than 12 hours, already addicted to Yumm! sauce
We met up with Dan and Tracy last night. Dan fixed us an epic chicken salad, with the local delicacy of Yumm! sauce. Yumm! sauce is somewhere between almond butter, hummus and mayo, except not quite any of them. It’s good; we had the chipotle.

(Dan was disappointed that I hadn’t mentioned that dog treats were sampled after the meal: they were.)

We arrived in Vancouver yesterday, and in the hotel hit a snag: the combination lock of my case wouldn’t open. I don’t remember setting one, so the prospect of going through 000 .. 999 to get at my clothes would be tiresome.
Thank goodness for Heather’s Luggage Repair. They reset the combination, and showed me the annoying little feature of combination locks that can cause this to happen.

the joy of craigslist
- 2 hours
- 23km driven
- $3 parking

… all wasted waiting for a silly wee lassie who’d agreed to meet to sell an autoharp, then sold it out from under me.
Real smooth move, Stefanie.

the dire effects of Whiskey Before Breakfast
This is allegedly what happens when the battery runs out on your Zoom H2 while recording: whiskey before breakfast. This is Nichol playing his Collings during a lesson.
