I kept thinking about zombie movies this morning and Steve King's "The Stand" (the book not the lame miniseries with Molly Ringwald and Rob Lowe. It's so quiet at work it feels like the calm before the storm. Clearly, I need to watch fewer horror movies.

So we were on a little stroll through California Citrus State Park in Riverside this weekend. We aren't from arount these parts and are easily amused I guess... Anyway, we start to see a row of wet fresh tracks like this one: <img...

On my street in Woodbury we have a pair of wood ducks that have apparently moved in. I saw them on Friday and again this morning but now they had relocated across the street right under the mailboxes. We don't have a pond or even a fountain anywhere on our street.

Those cute neighbors are totally HOA spies. You know the expression "A little birdie told me..."? Yup.

About the National Geographic tours... the Best of the Canyon tour is mostly them driving you point to point w/ no more than 15 minutes of walking at any particular site. There is another tour that is mostly hiking into the canyon - I haven't done that one. Grand Canyon will probably be...

Here is the link for the National Geographic tours. <a href="http://www.offthebeatenpath.com/gcvc/?ref=NGE">National Geographic Grand Canyon Tours</a> We did Best of the Canyon and loved it. It's $90/adult and half that for kids under 12. The National Geographic guides are very...

We went to Sedona Labor Day weekend 2007. We did the Call of the Canyon hike that borders along Oak Creek. This hike goes through an old abandoned orchard and farm dwellings. Very beautiful. We saw a lot of families hiking along there as well. I think Sedona is a vastly underrated destination...

So an update on this... we decided to go for it but offered about 10% less a month rent than what they were asking. Their agent said there were two other people/couples interested in the house and one had submitted an application so the owners had no reason to negotiate. Kind of bummed but its...

We went last year for Memorial Day. I'd recommend checking out some tour books from the library on the Grand Canyon. All the waterfalls are fairly remote and unless you are willing to camp I don't think that's a possibility. I don't think they are particularly spectacular falls either. We...

Very sad. The only thing to be thankful for was that he didn't kill anyone in his family or coworkers like some of the other a-holes in the news lately. I know exactly where this neighborhood is in Northern Virginia. It's nice but a bit more modest than what I'd expect for a CFO (or even...

So Ispoke too soon. Since the "Store Closing" signs have been up for a month I assumed Foot Solutions was already closed but they were open for their Closing Sale as recently as yesterday.

GITOC, didn't you see the new Sex and the City movie? Too much pudding can be dangerous!

The Foot Solutions in Woodbury Town Center closed about a month ago too. I've been remiss in my reporting. They still have a few other locations in Orange County though.

That is sad. I've been meaning to try their pizza. I usually go to the one in Woodbury Town Center... First Class Pizza which I like but its a bit fatty. Then again its pizza... I know, I know.

Yeah, tic-toc trojanman... a signup deadline looms today. :) I can't really see the Dinner A'Fare peeps turning away business after today but it probably would help him out to get the orders in so they've got plenty of time to prep.

I'm all signed up. Can't wait to learn how to make Blackened chicken tacos with chipolte ranch dressing, spicy peanut chicken noodle salad, and tuna steaks with tomato sesame coulis. Yum!

So I stopped at the Ralphs on Jeffrey yesterday on my way home from errands because we were running low on milk. And I didn't see almond milk in the milk substiture case with the soy and rice milk. Is that not refridgerated? Or is it in that middle aisle somewhere with the long shelf life milk...

Will do that. Baby burger for me! Sounds like I should do it soon too!

So creepy. The dark side of Wisteria Lane kind of thing.
