finally, proof of an advanced civilization, living deep in the jungle. . .

We spent the weekend in Sacramento, visiting family and running marathons. Had a hell of time retrieving our luggage.



at a Boulder smoothie shop, I stood in line behind a large quartz crystal. . . . the crystal spoke using only its mind. . . it ordered an acai bowl with hemp protein, cordyceps, and ashwagandha.

We visited IKEA in Phoenix this weekend (actually Tempe). I don’t care how clever the Ikeans are. . . I’m not designing my house like this.

The eiffel tower with palm trees.
We spent the weekend in Vegas. . . My wife got a free room at the Flamingo and tickets to Lady Gaga from some boondoggle ran by a pharmaceutical company. It was a lot of fun. I love Vegas. . . especially the schlock.

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free
And I'll give you,
$20 worth of poker chips and $5 cocktails!
