The Perfect Espresso Shot I hate my espresso machine. For the past year-plus, I’ve been using a Krups XP4030 pump espresso machine, which is perfectly fine for occasional use (like Sunday morning lattes to be sipped whilst reading the New York Times), but really doesn’t hold up to daily use. After 10 months of daily [...] One of the waitresses at the Bayou may have a mammoth rack (at least according to the Cunning Vulpine, and the 8th Avenue Express), but I think I’ve made it pretty clear that I have a preference for something a bit more petite. So imagine my joy when I came across the following study, initially [...] I am a big fan of David Liss‘s work, especially A Conspiracy of Paper, a historical mystery set during the the world’s first stock market crash, which will give some insight into what happened nearly 300 years ago, wrapped up in a story of pugilism and prostitution.

I was hot and tired and drained from sitting out in the sun most of the afternoon.

Modern finance has promised miracles, seduced the brilliant and [...] It’s so nice knowing that there are people in Utah who love their alcohol of choice as much as I do … In this case, it’s Dr. Cross, and his non-definitive (but still pretty thorough) guide to Scotch Drinking for Beginners; and I can’t think of a more expressive quote from than this: Wine people [...] Picked up a new toy on Friday evening; and spent a good chunk of Saturday reading manuals. It’s definitely (and quite obviously) more complicated than my point and shoot, but also more so than my old Nikon N4004 35mm film camera. Current lenses are my old AF Nikkor 50mm f1.8 prime, an old AF [...] Found a great coffee shop in the SL,UT today … was out and about getting my windshield replaced, my muffler replaced, my headlights replaced, etc., etc., and while waiting I started wandering about. NoBrow Coffee & Tea Company, located at 315 East Broadway (300 South) has a great old warehouse/gallery space, in an old brick [...] Officially, only 7 more inches of fresh pow at Solitude, but Snowbird got 22 inches, so I’m betting there are some stashes of deep hidden away at Solitude … Drinking my morning coffee; then shower, get dressed and I’m out!
