Fun With Flickr Groups

This is good for licking.

Remember That one Time?

I am sunburned. Heather thinks my Salt Lake City flask is scandalous. You can see the trip photos thus far on my Flickr feed at Maggie Mason. Heather and Heather have photos up as well.

Very Berry

We head out for an after-work drink at a martini bar that keeps a slushy machine full of vodka mix. Bryan brings us Very Berry Martinis.

Me: Whoa. That’s strong.

Rachel: And sweet.

Me: Just like I like my men.

Rachel: Strong and sweet.

Me: And fruity.

I just wrote Building a Library with Shelves Full of Memories for The Times. Please go read it.

My legs on the deck.

Appatite

The menu reads, “Warm chocolate souffle with Italian wet nuts.” Bryan asks for particulars about the wet nuts. “Yeah,” the waiter mumbles. “I wish they would change that.”

Little Lambs

Judith got a photo of my sheepcakes.

Fashionisto

Things you don’t expect Matt to say when you’re watching the Oscars:

“Wait! Go back. Hit clear. I want to see her purse.”

Elsewhere

Results are in for The Morning News Tournament of books! You can read my review of An Unfinished Season by Ward Just and The Dew Breaker by Edwidge Danticat. The last round came down to Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell versus The Plot Against America by Philip Roth.

Last week was so hectic that I forgot to link to my latest At Auction piece for the Times, “Cocktail Sets the Rat Pack Would Love” it appeared in the Circuits section last Thursday.
