Drumroll, please...

They dropped off my Vespa today. It is delicious. It is also huge.

Cutest mini-size plates of all time.

Look at this thing. Sleek.

(the blue panel above the rear tire will be silver next week)
. By the way, this beauty has a speedometer that goes up to 100mph.

Just saying.

I'll have a small and embarrassing photo shoot with it soon - Jon was in the shower when we were doing glamour shots, so I am not really pictured.

But Jon had a cameo appearance, as you can see below.

Next 2 weeks: insurance, helmet, jacket, driver's license.

And then, bliss.

My favorite statue downtown Santa Cruz.

Motor Sickle

Yes, that is correct.

I am now the proud owner of a not-quite motorcycle. It's a motor-sickle, like my mom says. Also known as a Vespa.

I could show you a photo but I want to wait until I can show you a photo of my own personal Vespa, instead of a stock photo from somewhere. So, stay tuned...

By the way, this is a huge deal. Huge. Deal.

2 years in the making.

This is it, folks.

Like I said, stay tuned.

Welcome to my office. Which contains the coolest chalkboard ever found. I love chalkboards.

The lime tree - replanted into a big happy pot. To save it from the gophers. With a fence. To save it from the deer. Jeez there are a lot of predators.

Morning fog at camp.

Just me and the bus stop.

love.

And the deer, munching happily. They probably love all this torrential downpouring. Boo.

Another Monday. Done.

My walk from the office to clock out.

Everything has been blooming!
