TdC Today

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

Today is Tour de Cure North Shore in Gloucester. For some reason, I find myself a bit nervous. I woke up one minute before the alarm went off (5 am). I’ll fix myself a bagle and hit the road.

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Tried installing CS4 yesterday. I failed.

Concord/Carlisle

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

Nice day without much wind. Kind of cool and pretty chilly towards the end.

I drove a car this morning for the first time in like six months.
You people do that every day!?!?!
It’s a wonder you’re not all dead or insane.
Oh. Wait.

Adventures in fine dining: Episode 2: The Palm

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

A friend and I went to The Palm restaurant tonight to see what it was like. They have a promotional coupon floating around for $39 filet mignon, appetizer and a side.
Without a doubt, it is the best steak I have ever had. Ever. I’m not that big of a red meat eater, but wow, was [...]
