overheard

mar: do i need to do something special to get online?
shane: you always gotta do something special, baby. like type "www."

la casa verde
with your friends shane, dan and mar




shaneyshane, my dear sweet greenster, moved his little vintner behind up to paso robles. bought a house and everything. and tonight i am over for dinner. but before dinner, he and dan are doing some post-and-beaming which means that i had time to take pictures and drink a beer and write a letter and basically lounge around while the men got all sweaty and powdered with sawdust.




the place is awesome. over a hundred years old, shane's pad is a spanish bungalow. he's doing all of the remodeling himself with some help from dan (dan is a pro). he's got a pair of $150 dollar boots, six months old, and he's already worn a hole in the toe from working so hard on the house.




he's been living in the "garden annex" while the rest of the house gets built. only shower is rigged outdoors. but who's to complain? paso hits 100 daily in the summertime. and with all that pixie sawdust, an outdoor shower might be just what the doctor ordered.



the deer also like shane's pad. and shane's tomatoes. and shane's zuchini. and shane's grass. and shane's shrubbery. unfortunately, shane does not like the deer. "you stay away, you little cockroaches," he yelled to the pair watching him work from 20 feet away. they stared at him blankly.
