May The Stars Light Your Way
   After work tonight, I headed over to Pho Paris restaurant because I’ve been invited to join the planning committee for the 7 Days for SIDS events that take place every June. Being invited to join the committee is very exciting for me. I’ve worked…
Tonight was Ed’s night to pick and he selected the CACTUS PEAR restaurant in Clifton. I joined the gang late because of a meeting so all I had to eat was a bowl of roasted potatoes. Seemed like everyone was having a blast and I…
Whew boy was I sick this evening. Around 1:30pm at my office, I really started feeling bad. My stomach was incredibly acid-y and I was VERY unhappy about it. I managed to hang in there for my two afternoon appointments, but left as soon as my last appointment was over. It’s a good thing I did, too… I no sooner made it home than everything that I’d eaten today …well… was returned. As much as I hate that style of delivery, I felt better after it.

Wendy & I take care of cookies, cheese, veggies, candy, soda, wine, and lots of other food-related items (napkins, cups, ice, etc). This year, we served nearly 400 glasses of wine, so we know the attendence was much larger than last year’s 200 (either that or this was an exceptionally thirsty crowd!).
The event was really nice, and the fans just adore being able to rub elbows with the band in such a beautiful, intimate setting.
No real dinner for us beyond what we could scrounge from the party.
Wendy wisely pointed out that if we wanted to decorate our Christmas tree, it had to be tonight. As a result, we decided to order in LaRosa’s for dinner. She had a Deli Cibatta and I had a Steak Hoagie. We split a salad. Once…
