Runs with knives!
After a long day at work — it was new student orientation at my college — Wendy & I decided to run down to the Greek Festival for dinner. We parked in Eric’s yard (thanks Eric!) and walked over to get gyros, spanokopita, feta cheese,…
Today, I dropped an Athlon 2400 (that I pulled out of the PVR, replacing it with an Athlon 3000) into the webserver to replace the Athlon 2000 CPU that had been in there. I wonder if you’ll notice any difference in speed or responsiveness on…
Today, Wendy & I went to HOMEARAMA 2006 Luxury Edition at Long Cove. All 10 of the homes on display cost more than 1 million dollars and were at least 6000 square feet.
It was ridiculous. Many of the houses were more like hotels and some of the decisions, both architecturally and interior design, were very questionable. Televisions were everywhere, and the children’s rooms were (seemingly) miles away from the parents’ suite. Dining rooms were tiny, which struck me as funny because many of the houses feature gigantic gourmet kitchens (complete with televisions, of course).
It was fun to go, but I didn’t find any inspiring design ideas.
What a meal this evening — we were certainly “eating strong!” during this culinary tour-de-force. Wendy & I dined at Jean-Robert at Pigall’s, a 4-star French restaurant in downtown Cincinnati. Jean-Robert at Pigall’s innovative three-course prix fixe menu features a delectable array of appetizers, entrees,…
Today, a group of us (Ted, Tracy, Julie, Mark, Robin, Dave, Ron, (Jay), Wendy, and Drew) participated in the PURPLE PEOPLE BRIDGE CL!MB, a new attraction in the Cincinnati Ohio/Newport Kentucky area. This is the first bridge walk in the Northern Hemisphere (there are others…
After our Bridge Climb, our group (Ted, Tracy, Julie, Mark, Robin, Dave, Ron, Wendy, and Drew) went to Dewey’s Pizza at Newport on the Levee for their wonderful calzones and salads. I had an Amish Chicken, Goat Cheese, and Whole Roasted Garlic Calzone. Wendy had a Proscuitto, Goat Cheese, and Pine Nut Calzone, and we split one of their excellent house salads (greens with pine nuts, dried cranberries, goat cheese, and Dewey’s house dressing).
I started (just barely) reading KATZ ON DOGS. We met this author at Wendy’s vet conference and were impressed with him personally. Wendy has read this book and really enjoyed it, so I am looking forward to it as well. Â Â Â Â
