Relaxing in a noisy enviornment…
I’m here in Gordon biersch unwinding with my 2 beers. It’s been a few weeks since I last posted, but I think it’s about time to update this, eh? 2 weekends ago, Joy and I went to Las Vegas with a few local friends for labor day weekend. There was definately a drink for every step we took! (well, not really, but just a way to give you an idea of how much we drank in the OTHER city that never sleeps….) I drove instead of flying and it was a lot of fun. Armed with Verizon Navigator, we got there with ease. We later found out that our friends took the long way to LV through Flagstaff (a near 2-hour detour, I believe). We didn’t see any shows, but who needs shows when friends who drink are nearby? 
We ate…and…ate…and…drank…and…well, you get the idea…by the end of the weekend, we all felt a lil’ weird inside. So I decided that it was time to get back into the gym. Joy took it one step further. She took me to Bikram Yoga here in Scottsdale. OMG what an intense workout and experience it is. I’m barely 5 classes in and already I have some definition on me Joy likes :). We also saw 2 movies: Balls of Fury and Shoot ‘em Up. I’d make detailed reviews of those, but that would take too much time. Simply put, Balls of Fury is a cute brainless movie that has Walken present and Shoot ‘em Up is a typical action movie that has some interesting twists. Both enjoyable pictures, though, damn shame they aren’t doing better in the BO than they should be deserving. In a sea of “dramas,” a brainless comedy was exactly what we needed for getting our fixes.
It was our anniversary last Sunday and instead of taking her to a fancy-shmancy restuarant, I took the reigns of dinner and made it myself. The meal: Filet mignon, Spinach salad with cirtus vinagerette, & a spinach pasta dish we learned from Giada that morning before going shopping. Delectiable in every way! Her meat was prepared prefectly and mine……..was….done…we’ll just say that ;). (I swear, the thermo said the meat was done!) . Topped off with some new wine to drink, and a perfect collection of mid-evening selections from Dave Coz on the local Jazz radio station, I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect dining experience with the one I call my own:). Love ya baby
This past weekend, Joy’s been all about shopping for me and my birthday on Saturday. Which is kinda why I’m able to post right now. I’m having a “writers block” with this programming assignment Joy asked me to do for one of her clients. I’ll see if I can focus on that later. Now’s the time to vamooosh Until next time…
