I woke up this morning and found the house entirely wrapped in fog. If you stood in front of the window in the kitchen, where I stand to make my coffee, you could watch it blow up the street in gusts – sometimes wisps, sometimes great puffs. I called Brandon over to see it when he woke up, and even half asleep, he managed a moderately enthusiastic WOW<\/span>, which surprised me. The fog horns were blowing. And now, a couple of hours on, the sun is out, searing through it, working its way steadily across the floor.<\/p>\n

I could talk about the weather all day. I am turning into an old man. The dog does his morning walk of the deck, securing the perimeter. Everyone has a job to do.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last week, I was out of town, traveling with my mom. I took her as my date to a friend<\/a>\u2019s wedding, a wedding to beat all weddings, where the groom\u2019s father played air guitar and I got to watch my mother, my near-retirement-age mother, break it down to \u201cEmpire State of Mind<\/a>.\u201d I\u2019m still coming down from that. I shot eight rolls of film in nine days. When I have pictures, I promise to tell you about it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the meantime, I wanted to share some great things I\u2019ve found lately. I really love gathering these for you, all the bits that stick in my head. Maybe they will stick in yours.<\/p>\n

– My mom and I rented a car and drove about 1200 miles over the course of our trip. In the hopes that we would have a CD player, I burned a couple of albums before we left, and the one we listened to most often was Neko Case\u2019s Middle Cyclone<\/span>. It\u2019s been out for about two years, but it took me a long time to fall for it. Now it\u2019s thoroughly won me over. Especially the eighth track, \u201cFever<\/a>.\u201d The lyrics are sinister, but the sound feels so… sexy. Not that I make a habit of listening to sexy music with my mother. In any case, from now on, I think that album will always remind me of our trip, and I like that.<\/p>\n

– I always love Tommy\u2019s blog This is Naive<\/a>, but she\u2019s really been pushing the right buttons for me lately. I especially like this post<\/a>. I love the way she sees.<\/p>\n

– Brian\u2019s midsummer mix<\/a>!<\/p>\n

– Soap<\/a> from Townsend Bay Soap Company, in nearby Port Townsend, Washington. Apparently, I am really into soap. I particularly like the Townsend Bay Rum scent, and the Woods of Washington scent, too. Both smell like summer vacation. Different versions of summer vacation.<\/p>\n

– Barry Estabrook<\/a> is a national treasure. His investigative reporting on industrial tomato farming<\/a> is eye-opening, horrifying, and very, very important.<\/p>\n

– On the other hand, and not even remotely important: Arnold Schwarzenegger\u2019s Total Body Workout<\/a>! Enjoy. Christophe<\/a> and Gemma<\/a> introduced me to this, so I can\u2019t take any credit. DOWN UP DOWN UP DOWN UP DOWN UP<\/p>\n

– I have long admired The Art of Eating<\/a><\/span>, and I\u2019m thrilled to have a story in their current issue<\/a>. I\u2019ve learned so much about food from reading AoE<\/span>. Not available online, but well worth the price of a subscription.<\/p>\n

– Last but not least, my new (old) favorite version of the song \u201cSummertime<\/a>,\u201d via my friend Ben<\/del>. Billy Stewart! Yeow. (Correction<\/i>: apparently Ben learned about this song from Brandon, who used to play sax along to it when he was in high school.)<\/p>\n

Happy week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
