There and back again

This past weekend we went to KC to spend the weekend with Jer's Uncle Dave. It was a good time. Jer loved the recommended Boca di Beppo. It was topped off nicely with a piece of cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. Lots of wii was played, smattered with a bit of shopping. Jer got to buy his long wanted Bose speakers. He's quite happy. This coming up long weekend looks to most likely be spent in Cabot.

Thanks to the lovely Rachel Wylie, I have found out that the Moers book I have been wanting is being reprinted in September. Note for those wanting to get me something for my birthday.

We're finishing the last Harry Potter audiobook. Fred just died. sad. Only 4-5 chapters and 3 appendices to go.

2 things

1. Jer's bad cholesterol was too high to count again. and his triglycerides were over 500. lower than the first time, but still way way too high. good thing dr. put him on his meds again, but a different prescription. he has 3 months to get it all down. question one: what can we do (other than eat beans) to get his good cholesterol up? all people ever tell me is eat beans...there has to be more than that. question two: how big is his potential for a heart attack with high cholesterol but good blood pressure?

2. Luke Thompson Music. I stayed with his family in NZ in 2001. he's a cool guy. i know some of you know him and will want to buy his new album that came out not too long ago. i bought it on itunes.
