Things I Wanna Do This Weekend (and probably will): Bike up to the Hollywood nunnery and get a loaf of pumpkin bread (thanks for the reminder Militant!) Begin my Christmas shopping Clean the bike (and change the slow-leaking rear innertube) Take Susan to dinner at that new El Caserio restaurant on Silver Lake Boulevard north …
