One of Evan's Christmas presents was a Gingerbread House kit. Yesterday, we finally assembled and decorated it. The kit included pre-made gingerbread pieces, icing, and candies. Evan and I provided the artistry (I'm being generous with this description).

We did have fun liberally applying gumdrops, gumballs, and peppermints to decorate this house. Now, I have to convince Evan that we should save this as a holiday decoration and not eat our creation.

Last night, Brian and Evan treated me to dinner at a favorite restaurant in celebration of my graduation from MU last month. My choice for favorite Lincoln restaurant: bread&cup in the Haymarket. Brian enjoyed bread&cup's Saturday night special of herb-encrusted beef brisket with corn salsa, while I really loved the pork chop with polenta and apples. And Evan proclaimed his pork shoulder sandwich with sweet apple cream and Gruyere cheese "like taking a bite of heaven."


I love this Lincoln eatery. If you haven't given them a try, I encourage you. Check out their website here: http://www.breadandcup.com/ and Kevin Shinn's blog here: http://breadandcup.blogspot.com/

Good morning from Gwangju

The Evan on Earth blog will be temporarily on hiatus while I'm teaching and traveling in Korea. You can check out the Kimchee & Coffee blog for posts on my Korea experience.


See you there!

Shooting the rat pids

Here's a nice site that provides a description, photographs, and map of the section of the South Platte River we rafted down on the Fourth of July.

rat bike show

Zombie Bikes Ride Again art show

What a blast! The art show opening Friday evening was one of the top social events in our tiny universe. So many folks from our past and present were in attendence, from the biking, skating, and old school punk communities. Quite a few of the next generation were also there, so Evan kept busy hanging out on the courtyard area behind the gallery. There was good food, cheap beer, best friends, and the bikes . . . oh, the bikes! Bikes with spikes, Barbies, and plenty of rust (aka patina). Too fantastic and fabulous to describe, so go check out the show, which is running at the Against the Wall Gallery until July 31. While you're there, sample the tasy wares at the Wise Oven Bakery, located in the rear of the shop.

P.S. Big shout out to Cindy B. for upgrading my Busch Lite to a Heineken, and for letting the kids run wild on your office stairway!

Zombie Bikes

This should be fun - a ratbike art show opening tonight at the Against the Wall Gallery in Havelock. Featured bikes include some by Bill Bored, DK, Brook Taylor, and Jon Taylor. See you there!

Sweet poster featuring DK on his piece of work. Err, art.

Hey, fifty IS nifty

It was a good birthday. In fact, it would rank up there as one of my most excellent birthdays.

Thanks to my mom and sisters for the amazing flowers delivered to my office, to Roddy for the birthday apple adorned with a single candle, to John W. for my afternoon granita, and to Brian and Evan for my new Chacos (a gift I'd hoped for) and the Movado watch (a gift beyond anything I'd hoped for). Brian and I had lunch at Dish, then kid-friend dinner at pasta place Macaroni Grill before heading out to Wright Field for a baseball make-up game. Evan assisted on a double play and got a base hit each time he was at bat.

I'm a happy half-centenarian.
