DINNER 211: Sunday, July 30, 2006
What fun today! Bob & Sharon and Wendy & I met Chris & Teresa in Columbus to go to COSI, the Center for Science and Industry, to go through their STAR WARS exhibit. The exhibit was really interesting, with costumes, props, and models from the STAR WARS…
DINNER 210: Saturday, July 29, 2006
Today, Wendy & I spent some time in Xenia Ohio with my friend & filmmaker Dan at a reunion party for a movie he wrote, directed, and produced (and which I was in) called TURNING THE CORNER. It was nice to see Dan and the rest of the team and to catch up on what they’ve been doing since the movie.
While we were sitting around chatting, a knock came at the door. Opening it, we found a little blonde lady — Brenda — who had dumped her motorcycle a quarter mile down the road and needed help to get it back up. Eric, Wendy, and I walked down and got her bike, which was fine but flooded, and walked her and the bike back to the party.
Wendy & I took off shortly after to meet some friends at Friendly’s (a trip down memory lane for both of us; it’d been years and years since we’d eaten at a Friendly’s). I had a Fishamajig sandwich and it was just like I remembered it — not very good, but cheap.
After dinner, we all went over to Books & Co. to shop for books — Wendy found another book about Geishas and several books for vacations, and I found HAUNTED and THE GREAT BOOK OF FRENCH CUISINE — before Wendy & I headed home.
 
DINNER 209: Friday, July 28, 2006
This evening after work, I went down to work at a culinary event at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. I worked on a Wine & Food Pairing event with Chef Leech, Katherine, and 12 guests. The guests made a variety of dishes — Tuna…
DINNER 208: Thursday, July 27, 2006
Just a simple meal of leftover pizza from LaRosa’s tonight, since we were somewhat rushed to get to SALSA class. This was our fourth (of five) meetings with this class, and things feel like they’re coming together. I don’t think we’re ready for SO YOU…
DINNER 207: Wednesday, July 26, 2006
Wendy & I hung out with my parents this evening at their house. Wendy wanted them to try a soup I’ve made for her a few times, so I whipped together Broccoli Soup with Goat Cheese as an appetizer. For dinner, we went to their favorite burger joint, called Main Street Cafe in Newtown for cheeseburgers and fries (Wendy had their delicious-looking Chicken Salad. She must have enjoyed it since she didn’t offer me a taste!). After dinner, we headed over to the Creamy Whip (whatever it’s called) across the street for ice cream before heading back to my folks house for a little while.
It was a fun, quiet evening.
Comprehensive System Backup
Last night, I performed a comprehensive backup of this server since it’s running well after the upgrade (thanks Rabbitt!). I used Mondo for the backup. This morning I burned the backup to DVD and spent about 30 minutes verfying the backup. The site was unavailable…
