And a lovely window view
As i explained to J earlier this month after our visit to the (awesome) Pima Air and Space Museum, and while standing at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, I'm not a *true* plane geek, in the sense that I can't tell a plane by its jet trails. But i do enjoy some plane-spotting.
Didn't get the standby, but:
an empty airport lounge, Sweetwater 420, the NYT, and schmancy olives isn't such a bad way to pass a couple hours.

Vegan xmas leftovers!
That's: veggies (squash, onions, red and green bell peppers), hazelnut stuffing, tofurky, and gravy (which my phone keeps wanting to auto-correct to "heavy". Indeed.)
Moving the last big items out of the condo today. [insert huge sigh of relief here.]

Strong lines, baby. Strong lines.
Third in a series of vegan xmas realtime blogging.
Can you believe that "realtime" wasn't in my phone's spellcheck dictionary?
Spellcheck wasn't either. Made short work of that!
Blow by blow vegan xmas!
These are the extra veggies that we didn't have skewers for.
More to come, friends! DON'T TURN THAT DIAL!

Broken unbreakable lexan fork?
No problem!
A nice project from the first of two nights on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. J and i are hiking down to Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the canyon tomorrow. Overnight temp supposed to be 6 degrees above zero. Whee! Vacation!

The downside of first class:
The downside of first class: a toddler in front, a snorer behind, an asshat to the left.
But an upgrade means i get "free" fruit for breakfast. Yum!

Ithaca is Gorges
some images of my last few days...
about 2% of what I did for two days: teaching people how to parse statutes.
Moosewood Restaurant: I could never forgive myself if I didn't go there. And it was WOW: deeply unimpressive! I mean, everything was fine, edible, bordering on tasty. But nothing, nothing stood out. Clockwise from left:
Fun graffiti and official signage in downtown Ithaca.
Solid food at Viva Taqueria, a tofu mole burrito, chips, and the house-made hot sauces. At $6.98 total, the best buy of the weekend. Except all of the food other people bought. But still perhaps the tastiest.
Sitting in the tiny cute Ithaca airport now, waiting to fly back to DTW, then ATL.
A few down days, then J and I go to Arizona for vacation. Whee!

- the salad had a somewhat tasty lemon tahini dressing, but the composition of green lettuce, carrots, shredded carrots, and a few (hidden) plum tomatoes.
- the wheat bread was thickly sliced, but very basic, very uninteresting, and the olive oil I asked for was way too little (though the server gladly brought out the pourer and left it when I asked for more olive oil.)
- the Caribbean black bean soup was bland and boring. It needed salt, more vegetables, more depth, some acid, and something besides black beans and boring fine chopped veggies.

Charlie Brown Xmas Tree, take 2
The other one was crapping out, and the pickings on the ground were solid when J and i were at Whole Paycheck earlier.
It only fell out of my bike grocery bag panniers once on the ride home.
