This is kind of embarrassing. But since I’m here to document, indiscriminately, my triumphs and their less exalting cousins (defeats, near misses and total fall on your face screw ups), here it is. In high-def slow-mo.

Day 328.

My idea of a fun mountain getaway involves: cozy cabin, waking up to the sound of woodpeckers outside my window, making waffles for breakfast, going hiking or skiing, stopping for pizza and a drink at the local brewery, taking time to read, write, and think on the lovely backyard deck overlooking a [...]]]> http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/05/24/share-your-campfire-buy-a-drink-with-no-id/feed/ 3 http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/04/04/hello-my-name-is-la-roxy-and-im-an-addict/ http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/04/04/hello-my-name-is-la-roxy-and-im-an-addict/#comments Sat, 04 Apr 2009 06:34:00 +0000 La Roxy http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/?p=403 April 3.

I spent the better part of today driving from post office to post office, on the phone with the federal passport agency and its idiotic robots, and rushing back and forth twice to “A-Official Passports,” an expediting service located near the U.S. naval base on Point Loma.

I had drinks tonight with a friend at Tower 23, the waning but still hip beachfront bar with excellent raspberry margaritas. Metrosexuals abounding. The perfect place for La Roxy to play wingwoman to her saucy friend, La Senorita, for an evening.

Fortunately, [...]]]> http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/03/27/goofus-and-gallant-may-i-have-your-chair/feed/ 0 http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/03/16/who-farted/ http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/03/16/who-farted/#comments Mon, 16 Mar 2009 10:05:00 +0000 La Roxy http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/?p=384 March 16.
