Columbus Day Dozen

Typically, Tuesdays are one of my most productive days, but today feels like a Monday. My fingers move across this keyboard like they're typing underwater. Here is a short recap of a long weekend.

1. Saw Intolerable Cruelty and Lost In Translation. If you only see one, see the latter.
2. "The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you."
3. Learned new facts about coffee.
4. Hiked along the coast in Point Reyes on Saturday.
5. Our table had eight loaves of bread while eating dinner at the Buckeye Roadhouse.
6. Watched Germany take down Sweden in the Women's World Cup. Darn it!
7. The third-place U.S. team looked to Emerson for motivation, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
8. Got muddy while playing volleyball on the Marina Green on Sunday.
9. Paused to see the Blue Angels fly overhead for Fleet Week.
10. Had dinner at Pizza Orgasmica and saw the 49ers lose to the Seahawks.
11. Reconfirmed that backyard landscaping will be a costly investment.
12. Missed the Game 3 fiasco, but saw Boston tie the series up with New York. Go Red Sox!
