Nightime Rituals

So it seems the night time ritual when going to bed become...

1) Read books
2) Get our blanket (takie sp? Patri, help me out here)
3) Dad carrying Owen upstairs
4) "Mom, give me rubbies please!"

Note point #4 :-)

Bags

"Owen, you have bags under your eyes, you look tired."

"Where Daddy?"

"Under your eyes Owen."

"Mommy, gets the bags away please."

:-)

I tried typing :-) to Wendy in AIM and somehow the search box was active and this is what I received back as results...

Your search for ":-)" returned no results.

We recommend that you try the following:

• Check your spelling.
• Remove double quotes. Quotes indicate an exact phrase, removing them broadens your search.
• Try using fewer words, your search may be too specific. Example: Instead of typing "tax free municipal bonds" try searching for "municipal bonds" or "bonds".
• Try different words.
• Rephrase your search using synonyms or related words. Example: Instead of "italian cuisine" try "italian cooking".
• AIM Search does not support the following operators:- allinurl:, allintext:, allintitle:, allinanchor:, inurl:, intext:, intitle:, inanchor:

Thank you for playing, have a nice day.

Summer Has Started

Summer has officially started, going to be 90 today for the first time this year I believe. Also, another wonderful summer tradition in Cincinnati has begun, SMOG ALERTS! Don't fill up your gas tank between 9 A.M. and 6 P.M. but do you really think Cincinnatians care? Of course not, lines all over the place in the middle of the day at gas stations. We really need a mind set change in this country and pronto!

Read'em and Weep

I don't have much to day, just read'em and weep!

SU and Stuff

So I am looking at the Big East Tournament bracket and I see Syracuse has to play a team they should beat tonight at 9:30, Seton Hall I think. So if they beat Seton Hall what do they get in return for winning? A date with UCONN the very next night. The Big East is crazy good this year and UCONN is the #3 seed. Louisville is #1 and Pitt is #2. I would have never guessed Louisville would have been the #1 seed in the Big East Tournament. Rick Pitino is just quietly going about his business and sneaking up on people. Another Final 4 run for the slick one?

Uni

So on Friday Wendy and I decided that we should go get some sushi. One, because it had been way too long and two, because I was craving it like crazy. Anyway, we have watched Anthony Bourdain for years and his favorite place to go is Japan. He has talked about Sea Urchin Roe or Uni, for years and years and years and how wonderful it is and how it melts on your tongue blah blah blah. You get the idea.

This past Friday I finally got up the courage to order some Uni at dinner and let me tell you, this stuff is unbelievable. It is so creamy and rich with a hint of sweetness it is hard to describe. Basically, it was so good it bordered on the orgasmic. Funny enough, Anthony Bourdain just did a show on food porn where he talked about all of his favorite foods in the world and why as humans, eating great food can be one of the most magnificent experiences we will ever have. The synergies of my moment and having just watched his show could not have been more complete. So in the end I say "BRING ON THE UNI!"
