Periodically I find myself watching infomercials.  These used to be the province of late night, can’t-sleep/don’t-want-to-go-to-bed, channel surfing.  However, now when I’m staying up past my bedtime for no good reason I’m more likely to be clicking on youtube videos.  Where I do end up seeing strange infomercials is oddly enough my office.  There’s an enormous flat screen tv in the kitchen area that’s usually tuned to ESPN, which I generally tune out.  However, sometimes someone has been in and changed the channel and we’re all treated to a sequence of infomercials for products I can’t begin to imagine why people need.  I tend to watch these in hypnotized fascination until someone rescues me by changing the channel back to ESPN.

In between having Dinner not writing about Dinner we disappeared off to California for 10 days.
The impetus for the trip was an invitation to Jes’s wedding (sneak peak of coming material – it was awesome!), and we figured as long as we were flying 6 hours across the country we might as well stay a while and visit with people and act like tourists (although hopefully we were more like enlightened visitors than tacky tourists).

Firstly though, the wedding was fantastic.  It is currently occupying the top spot on my ‘best weddings I’ve been to’ list.  Granted, I don’t think I’ve been to any terrible weddings, but still – top billing for this one.  Read the rest of this entry ?
