i'm a liar. . .

i am a big liar. . . well, not really, but i feel better after getting that out. i've promised to update this thing more often, and i haven't done a damn thing to it this week - you can flog me if you wish. . . actually you can't. . . some of you might enjoy that to much . . . you know who you are, you sickos! :) but i digress - how this blog has gone from a suto-apology to an invitation to a S&M session is a true testament to the workings of the human mind. . .

so, where was i - ah yes - what have i been up too . . . well, last weekend i rented a little house up in inverness for ewa and me - it was actually my birthday gift to her from a few weeks ago, and i must say, we had a fantastic time. we headed up halloween night - it was of course, " a dark and stormy night," to steal a terrible line, and as we were driving through the darkness around s.p. taylor park, ewa began recounting horror stories, and wondering aloud if someone could be in the back seat - after freaking me out sufficiently, she stopped. we arrived at the cabin which we found in the dark down a gravel path, and stayed in, drinking in front of a fire - um. . . perfect night?

ewa let me sleep in until 8am or so on saturday (isn't she a sweetheart?) and then we took of on hike toward the pt. reyes beach - having rained the night before, in was one of the clearest days i can remember - the views were incredible - we even had a clear view of the faralon islands. we headed down the mountain, then back up - made it back to the cabin, cleaned up, and headed out.

we had lunch at the marin cheese factory, a spot i used to go to as a kid, and one that i still love - we ate cheese and bread and salami and sardines and drank a nice half bottle of wine - um. . .perfect afternoon?

we left there to head into pt. reyes station we poked around town - hit the bookstore and bakery, then went down to pick up some more cheese at the cowgirl creamery. we headed back to our mountain home, rested for a bit, then headed out for a walk on the beach at drakes bay right after sunset and then dinner at the point reyes station cafe. we ended the night on the couch in front of the fire again - why mess with perfection?

we headed home on sunday - took a nice drive up highway one, stopped off in stintson for lunch, and then made our return to the city - rested, relaxed, and glad to have been in a cell phone black hole for a few days. . .

which brings us to this week - nothing but work and sleep - ewa has been in delaware all week, and i have been working non-stop on a project that all came fruition this afternoon - it went well and i am exhausted. ewa gets back into town tonight, and i am looking forward to a low stress weekend, starting with checking out dr. john tonight - if i can’t work the stress out from listening to him, i’m really screwed. . .

ok, it’s 4:30 - i’m checking out an hour early(that didn't happen - i ended up working until 7:15 on a friday night. . . got to love it!) - time to start the weekend. . .a big stiff cocktail is just what the doctor ordered. . .
