Happy birthday, bro! Happy mother's day, mom! Don't worry, the Lakers will win the next 2.

Many a carnation was handed out at La Femme, and the pieces have been selling well, both at the show and online. If you're still looking for a great, late, Mother's Day gift, check out the show.

A bunch of us joined a Pasadena kickball league a while back, and I have to say, our team is pretty awesome. We've improved (as much as one can in kickball) over the course of the season; last week we beat the previously undefeated team, and this week we won 7-0. Next week is the playoffs, let's see if we can go all the way. If we can't, well, it's kickball.

This weekend is another trip to the big bear cabin... bike riding, great food, and great food photos.
