September 8th

I grew up cooking tortillas on an antique cast iron stove plate (like the ones on this guy).  One day, before Ally and I were dating, we were talking on the phone and she mentioned that she had just stuck her quesadilla in the microwave.  I was dumbfounded.  What an abomination of tortilla cooking, I thought.

My snobbery has since taken a back seat to the convenience of microwave ovens.  I’ve been primarily microwaving my quesadillas now for probably around 6 years, but my parents, the original preachers of my former philosophy, found Ally and me a tortilla plate (I can’t remember where, but it was detached from its original stove-top during the acquisition). It shall now forever live on our back right burner (which is too small to cook anything of any real substance or significant size/portion anyway), calling to us to throw a tortilla on it.  Go ahead, it says.  Lay one on me.

Today, I abided.

September 7th

Took a 70 mile bike ride today with Sheila and AJ.

I felt every pedal stroke for the last 15 miles with the firey intesity of hell.  It was tough.

I’m going to sleep well tonight.

September 6th

I miss spending time on my computer every day.  Even after the daily photo project ended, I still spent at least 30 minutes/day on it checking emails and reading blogs.

Now the iPhone has really taken over most of those basic computing tasks.  I mean, who needs a computer to check email anymore?

But sometimes I really miss the tactile crunch of my keyboard.
