I didn’t have a clear idea what to get Kent for his birthday party tonight. We were all meeting up at Nola’s (where Kent and I have shared several great meals together), and I had the afternoon to find him a good present. I stopped in at this place that specialized in silver. Everything in the store was shiny to…
I think a horse tap-danced on my arms and back. :|
I noticed the strong scent of the blooming lilacs, all around the neighborhood. They smell great. Keep up the good work.
Ben and Laura took us out to eat (along with Laura’s mom), and we hit a Flat Iron type restaurant, the kind where you build your own dish and the cooks… well, cook it for you. We all ate a TON of food, and took our sweet time unwinding from the day. By the time Justin and I said our…
Justin: This tastes like a campfire!
Ben’s had his eye on this particular tequila (Del Maguey), ever since he saw it for sale at Artisan. Justin and I decided to do a stealth gift, and bought this for him as a housewarming gift. I learned that Ben really enjoys really top shelf tequila, and so Justin and I chipped in to get him this fine bottle….
Justin and I show up at Ben’s house around 9:30. We start to move out boxes into the backyard, in anticipation of the truck. Outside, I looked up and was impressed by the large tree that towered over the apartment. The loading begins! Dan, handing Justin a box. That’s Chuck in the back, working like a machine and getting things…
To prepare for a day of lifting heavy objects, Justin and I slipped into DeMar’s for a greasy diner breakfast. Me, I ordered a veggie omelet with a side of sausage. Yeah. I’m a complex guy like that. :| Good, cheap food, and a wonderful way to greet the day. Our bellies full, we trundled off to Ben and Laura’s…
One thing I needed to say here. I’ve not been happy with the writing the past few days, and I guess I just want that down for the record. I’m recounting things, but it’s seemed like a dry catalogue of events. Also – regarding going back to talk to Kelly at Exit. I also want it down on the record…
Gotta wake up bright and early tomorrow, pick up Justin at 8 AM for breakfast. Then it’s off to Ben’s for a morning of moving his stuff into his new house. So… Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
If you want it, go here.
I met up with Dipti at the Marriott downtown. Her family was also in town, so I grabbed a beer at the hotel bar and hung out a bit. Before they left, I got to see her family again (haven’t seen them in ages too), which was nice. I guess I should add here that Dipti and I have technically…
Got super tired all of a sudden. There’s lots more I want to write, but I guess it’ll have to wait. My friend Dipti is in town, and we made plans to hang out tomorrow evening. I’ve got a lot of crap to get done, both tomorrow and Sunday… so it’s going to be an eventful weekend. Tomorrow night, Dipti…
Today seemed to be full of synchronization… the universe tying itself into a perfectly formed knot. At the Division stop, I spotted Justin jumping into my car, and we started off the morning together. On the walk to work, we both noticed this new addition to the Wells Street bridge: At work today, Dave stopped in and hung out with…
Took a late lunch today, and wandered around the workplace. I found this image, and stopped. I was literally wondering "Why?" to myself. Why in the hell would someone create these railings, and why put them here? The more I looked at it, the less sense it made.
