Hello adventureland! One of our dear friends of adventure, Bert Rodriguez will be giving a lecture tomorrow at The Henry Art Gallery. I think you should come because I want you to meet him. Also, if you like to go to Miami, you can visit him there sometime when he is not in Seattle. Bert is very funny and so I assume that you will like him. Also, there will be cupcakes. If you have ever wanted to eat cupcakes with a conceptual artist, tomorrow is your chance. I think it would be a great free date, a good way to impress the person of your liking with your taste in cupcakes and activities. 7 to 9 at the Henry Auditorium. Oh, anddddd, the southernmost incorporated place in the contiguous United States is in Florida in Key West. The northernmost incorporated place in the contiguous United States is in Washington. Let’s hear it for SUMAS! Road trip with us! See you tomorrow at the Henry!

Anyone been to Fleisher’s in Kingston, NY? Their meats are to die for. We make a point to stop there whenever we’re in the area, and never fail to come back with gorgeous steaks. This time we splurged and asked for marrow bones, breakfast sausages, and all-beef hot dogs, too. It goes without saying that I’ve filled my protein quota for at least the next month.
