Today is the sixth anniversary of the day Keri and I met! It has been six wonderful years full of grand adventures and amazing experiences. We won’t get a chance to celebrate until Keri gets back from her Vipassana retreat in Shelburne Falls in 12 days. We both signed up for the retreat but unfortunately they weren’t able to accommodate my deafness (most of the meditation instruction is on audiotape) so I’ve decided to stay home and have a retreat of my own here in East Providence. I plan to spend most of my time reading, writing, and meditating. I will be limiting my time on the computer to blogging, email, and work related use.

Focaccia bread about to go in the oven. I asked Keri last night to teach me how to make Focaccia bread today. This is the result of my first attempt. Lately, she had been baking this bread a lot since it’s very easy to do and tastes delicious. The bread is half devoured already with a bowl of homemade potato leek soup.
After making and kneading the dough, I mixed up a quarter cup of olive oil, fresh thyme, herbs de provence, and Italian seasoning. I brushed this atop the dough and sprinkled freshly grated parmesan cheese over that before putting it in the oven.

Leaf I picked up in the backyard and scanned. Fall is here. The leaves are changing. The houses in our neighborhood are decked out in Halloween decorations. The scent of wood fire fills the evening air. The ground is slightly damp from last night’s thunderstorm.
It’s quiet tonight and we’re busy creating here at the Mauran Avenue pad. Keri’s working on her latest series of pencil drawings. I’ve just finished designing the current theme for the blog. It’s only temporary until I’ve gathered all the imagery I need for the next theme which will be based on my paper journals. It will be a real challenge to see how well I can pull off the design. For now, this current theme will do just fine.
Later tonight is the U2 live webcast at the Rose Bowl. The full concert will be broadcast on youtube for those interested in watching. I’ll be kicking back with a couple cans of ‘Gansett and enjoying the show.
