obligatory 30 minutes of net time before work
Lunch review:
Lunch was absolutely spectacular. My buddy is a chef, working under the guy who runs the culinary school at one of the local colleges. Today they opened up their 'bistro' for the students to highlight their skills, mostly for faculty, etc. These kids have promise.
Damn, it was quite a nice meal .. they had a few veggie options (fresh green salads, fruit, pecan bread with honey margarine) for me and the grill guy hooked me up with a nice mushroom medley over fluffy, delicious garlic smashed potatoes. Desert, mmmmmm, a flourless chocolate cake, a pumpkin pecan cheesecake and bananas foster (with which I convinced the dessert chef to really put some flames into it - i'm talking hair metal pyrotechnics!!!) so fine.
Matt's brother Mike is in town as well, so it was great to see him. He's a national forest ranger out in Moab, Utah. Funny this: he was helping out a couple of guys on the trail and they got to talking: turns out that this guy went to the same high school as us, a few years older, played hockey and now lives on the same street as Laura and I - he also owns a carriage house. It's bizzaro world Justin. Small world.
Ok, that is all - the east coast is underwater, or radars are broken, so flights are mad delayed. Time to make the bread....

he can see hollywood video, but I think it's from the other side of Main Street - near Holy Crepe I think.
I could use a xanax today.
Not sure I want to be flying this weekend and Chicago flights home are timed strange. Maybe we can drive to Pitt?
