Ups

  • I got to sleep in while Jaeger took care of Calvin

  • Jaeger and I got a babysitter for Calvin and took off to wander around Boulder for a couple of hours. Our first stop was the Bookworm which has a very nice selection of used books. Unfortunately, I was out of luck and didn’t find anything in cookbooks, SF, or board books. However, I did pick up a copy of Mary Balogh’s The Secret Pearl. Our next stop was The Sink where we shared a “Buddah Basil” pizza. At first, I was a little dubious about tofu on pizza but it was pretty good and the whole wheat crust was excellent. We then went and had tea at a tea shop on Pearl St. I made a mistake in getting Thai Tea which was overly sweet without much flavor. However’s Jaeger’s green tea seemed pretty interesting. I had been hoping to go to a speciality chocolate shop I had previously seen at the Pearl St Mall. However, they appear to have gone out of business. Instead, we stopped by the Rocky Mountain Chocolate store and I was not impressed. Their chocolate tasted more like sugar with hints of chocolate. We had just enough time to swing by The Boulder Bookstore before heading home. It was a good trip.

Calvin Moment

  • Calvin has a very amusing barking laugh. When I sneak up and startle him, he dissolves into barking giggles. It’s a most peculiar sound.

Simplification

  • Shredded another 2 bags of old financial documents.
