Guayaquil?
I saw this advertisement in the Delta in-flight magazine:
Guayaquil? Really? I know Guayaquil has "eclectic architecture styles" (eclectic being a nice word for random?) but I wouldn't call them magical.

I Give Up
I'm done. That's it. Kaput. I am done trying to make banana bread. I had three very disgustingly ripe bananas that were, none the less, perfect for banana bread. The batter turned out great. I baked them in four mini loaf pans. They were brown on top. Sprang back when touched. A toothpick inserted came out clean. By all metrics they looked done. But when I turned them out they looked like this:
All schlumpy. Liquid in the center. The edges are edible but the centers need a spoon. A bitter disappointment. I can't figure out why I can't make a decent loaf of banana bread. In college I had to subcontract production out to Bubba. And she didn't even measure! Added insult to injury. My recipe says to bake at 300...is that the temp you all use?
So 2 August 2011 is the last day Owens is in Berge possession. End of an era. Here's to 45 good years.

Why, yes, yes it does!!

School already cancelled for tomorrow! So naturally caitie wants me to go out in the below 0 weather to take her to the mall

Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night will stop a true shopper. Besides, can you really tell the difference between +10 and -10
