Some days the Heidelberg just sings. It works like a charm. (Other days it's a total beast and I spend many hours pleading for cooperation.) Today, though, was sweet. I don't actually use this press all the time; I often choose to use my Vandercook, particularly when the run is anything smaller than 100 or if I'm not up for the temperament and speed of the beast. Yet today the Heidelberg was humming right along – well, not humming, more like an insanely fast fiddle – and I got so much done. Today, though I woke up at 4:30 am. I know – that's insane – but I couldn't get back to sleep and my alarm was set for 5:00 anyway. I went to my crazy exercise class at 5:45, got home by 7:00 and was in the studio – belly full, totally caffeinated – by 8:30. I got to cross so many things off the to-do list, some of which have been on there for a VERY LONG time – yes!!

We're heading up to Portland tomorrow for an evening out and then we'll pick up the kid on Saturday morning. He's been at MDA camp all week long. And loving it. More about all that over at we love liam. I'm thinking about where to eat tomorrow night. Last weekend when we took Liam to camp – just 90 minutes or so outside of PDX – we managed to eat, with him, at Olympic Provisions for lunch and Toro Bravo for dinner. And Ben and I ate at Pok Pok the next day for lunch. Pure gluttony, but oh-so-tasty and good.
