Wow, what a fine morning.  I can overlook the 100% humidity and cloudy skies for some 70-degree temps.  Not that it makes a whole lot of difference from the confines of a cubicle.

That was a moderately entertaining weekend at best.  Friday I did a grand bunch of nothing.  What, like went to the Brooksider, Jalapenos, and home?  No, like nothing.  I was pretty darn sick for the better part of last week.  I’m no doctor, but I do have the Google, and a little quick research indicated that recommended cures for the flu don’t include sitting on a patio in 40-degree weather smoking a cigar.  Rats.  So, Donette and I went up to the gym for a bit, then I went home and played Wii games all evening.  It passed the time just fine too;  I miss the ol’ Wii games.

Saturday I felt considerably better, due in no small part to my quiet evening Friday I’m sure.  I headed up to the gym for a few hours, then got a call from Martin with the super exciting news that he was heading to midtown for the day.  His description of the days plans were advertised as “Have a hotdog at Hooper’s.”  Indeed we did enjoy a few $1.50 hotdogs, then his plan somehow morphed into a tour of Waldo.  The final damage included Hooper’s, Tommy Farha’s, Patrick’s, Bobby Baker’s, and Quintons.  Those links are about the best I could come up with;  These aren’t really the kind of places that waste a lot of resources on websites and advertising and all that other crazy stuff.  I particularly enjoy that Farha’s shows up as a “Cafe.”  What exactly makes them a cafe;  the beef jerky for sale by the cash register?  Who knows.  Donette, meanwhile, was out with the girls.  They went out to dinner, then saw Billy Elliot at Music Hall.  We have different tastes in entertainment, what can I say.

Sunday somehow disappeared on me.  I don’t know what happened.  Matter of fact, I woke up this morning convinced it was Sunday.  (Which, I suppose, will make the day seem even longer than usual.)  We went to Costco and got a few items I guess, which is always good for passing a few hours.  I made a pot of beans and roasted a chicken for some tacos, and I guess that was about it.  Woo hoo.  Closed out the day with some movie on Netflix that was so horrible I can’t even remember the name.
