Yesterday I took the day off. It was originally going to be a half day, but I needed a break. We drove to the East Bay (traffic was awful, a lane was shut down on the Bay Bridge) and met Ken & CJ at the local theater. After obligatory 30 minutes of inane previews we saw Coyote vs Acme. It was good; lots of nods to classic Looney Tunes. Not ground-breaking like Roger Rabbit but at least it wasn't a pathetic commercial like Space Jam. I'd recommend it.

We walked around for a bit and had a decent dinner at a hole-in-the-wall Salvadorean place. Then home, in the obligatory rush hour traffic.

• Sourdough popovers (done)
• bills & stuff
• resurrect Lazarus IV (rye starter) (in process)
• stuff and smoke a batch of 1500s garlic chorizo for curing (in process)
• bananana bread
• kale gratin
• decide if a British Museum membership is worth it to help get Big Lie tickets in January

This may be a trifle ambitious, but I have to keep pace with the wife.  She has been triaging/sorting/cleaning like a mad thing and is also working on beautifying our back yard.  (Not a euphemism.)

Also, my sourdough starter is The Oobleck in a nod to Dr. Seuss.  Since the apprentice brought a clone of his starter, I have named it the OoBrokk.
