Started a blog.
Made a batch of salsa from scratch for the first time (hummus is next).
Knocked on the door of the house where my children live and that on the deed of which my name appears before entering.
Found a long-lost friend from high school who lives in the area.
Broke a board with my bare hand (thanks, Lori!)
Bought a car and leased an apartment in one day.
Started a job that requires the regular use of mathematics (fortunately only fractions, but teeny tiny fractions that are turned into teeny tiny percentages out to 9 decimal places).
Re-discovered about 100 books that I’d forgotten that I have.
Started burning candles on a regular basis. I started because one or more of my neighbors smoke and the smell filters into my apartment. I continue because of the smell, and also because I find it calming for some reason. Yeah, I am weird.

So what happened...when you knocked on the door? When you found the long lost friend?
I had to knock on the door because my wife and I recently separated. It was time to pick up my boys for a visit.
The long lost friend and I are trying to work out a time when we can meet for lunch. It ought to be a blast.
Hummus is easier! :)
Can of chickpeas (reserve the garbanzo juice)
Juice of one lemon
Tablespoon or so of Sesame seed butter (Tahini)
3 to 4 Tbs extra virgin olive oil (I use even more)
2-3 cloves of fresh garlic
sprinkle of paprika
Whirl garlic in blender first, then add chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, lemon juice. Blend again, adding reserved garbanzo "juice" until you like the consistency. Add salt to taste. Server with a little drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of paprika on top.
All of the other things you've done seem just as freeing--save one. I was pretty bummed to hear about you knocking on the door of your own house...
Who's the long-lost friend? And how did they find you? You can reply by email.... xoxo yer sis (the younger one)
Yeah, I decided on Hummus because I ran across a good recipe for it while collecting the stuff I'd need for my salsa! :)
I also think I ran across the real and original recipe for "Hot and Sour Beef" like they sell at the "Cheap Chinese Food" place near downtown where you took me a couple of times. I have looked high and low and never found another restaurant anywhere that makes it. So, once I get brave enough its over to the Asian supermarket for supplies and I will give it a shot.
