Yesterday a mentor and friend from S.'s work took us all out to eat to celebrate S.'s B-Day. We went to a Middle Eastern place near my place of business called Jerusalem Grill ( Read more... ) -

S. and I got up and had Mexican food for breakfast yesterday. I had Caldo de Res and I think she had Migas. Pretty tasty all around. I think that the restaurant we ate in is a chain of some kind of which I was not aware of. I have eaten at several Mexican places that all have exactly the same pre-printed menu. It has a complicated layout that ( Read more... ) -

Yesterday was my first Saturday sit with the Zen group. The guys had let me know that Saturdays often have much larger groups, and I was not disappointed. I am pretty bad with names and only picked up a couple more even though I met probably ten folks. Two people were there from Wednesday. It seems to be time for people to be going out of town ( Read more... ) -

Yesterday I spent the evening farting around on the computer and watching TV. S. was out with friends till pretty late. I really think my TV watching is an addiction.

The weather was a little chilly but the outside tables were a nice dinning environment even though we were the only customers that were willing to brave the ( Read more... ) -

S. and I bought a new slow cooker. This cooker wasn't too expensive and had a timer on it so that it could switch from cooking to warming. Our hope was to be able to do some cooking while we are at work. Yesterdays efforts were not great but not a complete loss. We tried making beef stew. Unfortunately, I don't think we got enough liquid in it ( Read more... ) -

Strange Dreams and Nightmares in Real Life
I had strange dreams last night. I went to bed after finishing a really fun game session of Mage with knockabout in which I was traveling through the dream realms looking for clues to find my former master. It was a compelling enough session that I dreamed that I was still playing in a game where I was dreaming and couldn't wake up. Given our similar ( Read more... )
