The blog isn’t dead, but…

As you can tell, I haven’t been motivated to write much lately. I’m going away for a week too–my sister is getting married in Costa Rica–so that won’t change anytime soon.

A few things before I leave:

* This NY Times story summarizes the current health research on coffee.

* I stopped by my friends Kate and Bart’s place yesterday. A five-year-old boy that lives above them, Zen, was plowing his trucks through a pile of dirt. He looks at me suspiciously when I arrive and starts interrogating me.

“Why are you here?”
“I’m going to go to the Mall with Bart and Kate, and watch a movie outside.”

He furrows his brow. “Then are you going to break into Bart’s house and steal his TV and lamp?”

Yikes! Where does a five-year old get an idea like that? A healthy suspicion of strangers is fine, but that was too much. I decided to set him straight.

“”Actually, I’m not interested in his lamp. I just want his TV. I’m going to steal it when I get back. Don’t tell him. Shhh!”

His eyes bug out. I lturn around and go inside. I love kids.

    That kid has heart! And a slightly overprotective streak.

    I pay that kid a dollar a day to protect my apartment. Jason, you were a test to see if anyone could get by him and now that punk kid owes me money
