May The Stars Light Your Way
After a drive of approximately 10 hours (and one flat tire), Wendy, Ted, and I arrived in Charleston South Carolina for vacation. Wendy & Ted’s family would arrive on Monday and that’s when we get possession of our beach house as well. So, Wendy, Ted,…
Tonight, we decided to eat at LaRosa’s, and instead of our usual delivery, we actually ATE THERE! Wendy had ravioli, and I had a nice hoagie with some of LaRosa’s new "kitchen chips" — thick cut potato slices that are fried and seasoned. They would…
We came back from vacation (stories & pictures to follow) to find that our network had been zapped. Probably by lightning.
Our ADSL modem was fried and the keyboard & PS2 port on the webserver — the new motherboard — has been fried. Now every time I boot up the server, it buzzes like crap. In addition to replacing the ADSL modem, I had to buy a new USB keyboard for the server. It works, but I cannot get into BIOS at the moment because the USB isn’t initialized during bootup. Ugh.

Tonight we went to the lovely home of my boss, Dr. Lee, for an "end of rotation" party for our students who just ended their first clinical rotation. The Lee’s cooked burgers ("boogers", as Mrs. Lee calls them), hot dogs, metts, and bratts on their…

A bunch of us — Michelle, Debby, Jo, Julie, Wendy, and Drew — met at Taj Majal. I let our server pick for me and he picked (yawn) Lamb Masala. I was hoping for something more exotic and a bit further off what I normally get (Chicken Masala), but there’s always next time. The lamb was very good!
Wendy had chicken biryani, a batura, and a mango milkshake.
Tonight, I stopped at Jimmy John’s for subs on the way home. Wendy & I each got their excellent "Beach Club" — French bread with turkey, cheese, avacado, sprouts, tomato, mayo, lettuce, and cucumbers. A couple bags of chips and a couple of Jimmy John’s…
