Lame
September 7, 2011
OK I have been a complete slacker about updating the blog. I spent hours this evening uploading and editing photos to get this thing up to date. So you get a picture of the kitties' entrance to their little fort. Oh, and another note...I *temporarily* stopped adding the camera settings below the pictures. It takes a surprisingly long time to do on the laptop. I'll start up again when I get back on track.

Yeah yeah I used that stupid retro camera app on my phone again. I still don't like it, but I was lazy.

Shisha
August 24, 2011
Coals atop a hookah at Cafe Layal. I think this was the mint-flavored one we ordered, and we got apple (my favorite) after that. For those who don't frequent Middle Eastern places or didn't grow up there, shisha is flavored tobacco that is smoked through a water pipe. It's very mild and relaxing, perfect for a reunion with some friends from Saudi.

Yet another photo taken in an Asian restaurant. We got a new Japanese/Sushi place within walking distance! And it's awesome! I couldn't be more excited. They have this ahi tuna appetizer that is to die for.

The Luck Be a Latke sandwich at Kenny & Ziggy's Deli. It is the most amazing sandwich in the world. The juiciest beef brisket with potato pancakes instead of bread, served with applesauce and sour cream. I'm sad I don't have one right in front of my as I type this.

We went to James's 20th high school reunion this evening. It was fun to meet people and try to figure out who were the popular kids, the brains, etc. back then. We had a good time!

There's never enough of the one awesome thing in a trail mix. In this case it was the dried cranberries. In Chex Mix it's those crispy rye rounds. I wish they would just make a whole bag of those things and skip the actual Chex.

Glenwood cemetary is located only a couple miles from the house. It is gigantic and really beautiful. And old. Many famous Houstonians are buried there, including Howard Hughes.
