It’s that time of the year again when all the ducks come into town and search for nesting sites. We see them in the strangest places. Kinda reminds me of HGTV’s House Hunters, or should I say DTV. I hope they’re not victims of the subprime duck mortgages. Nest foreclosures aren’t pretty.

Get your ding dang camera!
While we were out in the backyard, I spotted a humming bird close to Sandy where she was pruning the bushes. She yelled at me to get the camera. I responded as I usually do, “By the time I get the camera it’ll be gone”. She didn’t take “No” for an answer. What I did …
Farmers Saturday
Yesterday we checked out our local farmers market. Sandy picked up an orchid, quail eggs and tinapa, which she prepared for dinner… the fish not the orchid.
Burd Squatters
A pair of stupid burds decided to construct a 3 bedroom condo right outside our front door directly atop our porch light, without permits. The result is alot of burd crap!

Phò Weather
Whenever the days are cloudy and cold we look at each other and simultaneously say,”It’s Phò weather.” Sandy orders something different with each visit, me I order the same thing over and over. A small #10 (tai nam sach) with chicken wings.
Chop Bar
I can’t remember the last time we got together with Jim, Kelly, Steve & Diane. So it was with great anticipation that we met at the Chop Bar downstairs from their lofts. The food was excellent and the company even better.
April Date Night
The weather was very nice today so I ferried into the city to meet up with Sandy.
Our Vacation 2010
In September we plan to go to Italy and it’s all we talk about. The tickets have been purchased via my AMEX miles, WooHoo. We’ll stay in a villa with 12 other family & friends somewhere in the Tuscany area. I don’t even know exactly where…I don’t care. I’m just happy were going. I’ve been …
