I’ve been back for over two weeks and I’m finally feeling like I have some time to get back to this blog. It took a week to dig out of two months of mail. I went back to work and had to dig out of two months of email. It took about a week to fix my crashing Mac (I blame iCloud) and I think my new firewall machine is fairly stable.

I even had jet lag for a while. I never have jet lag but I realized that’s probably just because usually I only go to Japan for two weeks. Two months is quite different. I’m glad to be sleeping in my own bed in a house where there’s not much noise rather than in a hotel where I had to sleep with earplugs in. The best thing about being home is the giant washer/dryer.

The food back at home isn’t as good as on vacation. Good, but not great. The baked cod at Besaw’s was good, but not great.

The Beaujolais Nouveau at Olympic Provisions that they said was good was passable. The meat plate was EXCELLENT (so I guess some things are great).

The burger at Besaw’s wasn’t great (a little too salty) but the butterscotch pudding was great.

And finally, the burger at Meriwether’s was better, but still way too salty. So far the best burger I’ve had since I got back was at Five Guys.

I’m getting used to being home again, and that’s a good thing.
