Lesson Learned

Pull out your camera and take pictures of your food at restaurants. They'll think you're a food blogger and top off your glass of wine in hopes of a good 'review'.

Guest Chef

I don't know that I've ever had someone come over to my place in the morning specifically to cook me a gourmet breakfast. Until today. It's great having a good friend who's a chef-in-training. Definite perks.

Not the city, the place

Candlepin Bowling?

I was having a conversation with some friends a couple weeks ago that turned to the topic of bowling. A few of us had just been to a new bowling alley here in Brooklyn and another friend asked what kind of bowling it was. What kind of bowling? I didn't realize there were multiple kinds. But guess what? There actually are, especially in the Northeast, more specifically in and around New England.



Candlepin bowling? Never heard of it. Honestly, it doesn't look great, but it does actually look more difficult than 'standard' bowling. Its pretty hard to take regular bowling seriously on video, even harder to watch this without a snicker.

If I commuted to work, this is what it would be like

In the future, all my meals will be liquid

Apparently the future is right around the corner, because Anne's new robotic juicer has already made its presence felt only two days after being removed from its packaging. Yesterday it was oh so delicious orange juice. Tonight, carrot juice. I'm pushing for a banana smoothie or tomato juice next, but I think Anne is going to have me drinking celery or cauliflower juice by week's end. It won't be long before we're juicing up a batch of 'leftover' juice.

NYE

Though not as crazy as years past (Irish car bombs at the Highland Tap?) this New Years gave Anne the opportunity to wear her new dress and gave me the opportunity to sport my apparently see-through sweater...subtle.

My Year in Cities, 2007

I've always liked this post and, since I managed to travel a bit more for work this year, I thought I'd go ahead and post my travels for 2007. Most of these trips were work related and most were fairly short. I doubt I spent more than four weeks in total outside of Brooklyn this year. Just on city names alone, however, this was probably a top three travel year.
