Botanical Gardens

(E:joe,58524) and (e:terry) and I went to the botanical gardens on New Years Day to recoup with some humid air. I am finally starting to feel better. What I really miss is fall color mode on my Samsung note 3. While the camera hardware is an upgrade the software seems like a step back. Between the lack of manual focus or macro mode and the removal of fall color mode, I just want to go back. My old pics were actually better on the lesser camera. Now I just find my self often frustrated as it focuses on something and then loses focus immediately.

17lbs of Procuitto Di Parma Later

My Christmas gift from (e:terry) arrived in the mail this week. Its really 17lbs of boneless procuitto. I always had said I wanted one and now he made that dream come true. Now I need to have a procuitto party and get some non veggie friends who are into procuitto. I still don't know how I am going to slice it. Maybe I should just wait for a slicer for my birthday. Says it should last about 6 months after opening it if I keep oiling the end.

It came from iGourmet

which has a real interesting assortment of products. The most expensive product I saw was the Royal Treasure Chest of food for $1000. Literally comes in a treasure chest you could use as furniture according to the description.

Express Birthday Card

My birthday isn't until the end of the month but Express sent me an early birthday card with a $40 gift card. Considering how almost my entire wardrobe is now from that store, I am sure I paid for it, but it's still pretty awesome. Thank you express.

New Years Eve

We sat home sick and watched Portlandia. I felt better than the night before but not very good. My mom sent food which was tasty. I really missed eating there.

Sick Temporarily

I am also sick. I have a horrible hacking cough and dizzyness. I hate being sick but it seems I am inevitably sick for Halloween, New Years and Early March sometime. Sometimes I wonder if it has to do with going out at night with friends in enclosed places (bars, family events, shopping, etc) in the winter where everyone else is sick. The less I go out, the less I get sick.

On the uplifting note I went to a primary care doctor for the first time in years, like 8 years I think. They did complete blood work and I look pretty normal. At least everything was in normal range so I guess my pretty good diet works despite the random issues I have had in the past.

Basra Escaped From His Pen

He got out and shut off his heater. I tried to explain to him how getting out was stupid and there was no way to go outside no matter how many boundaries he overcame as it is freezing out. Plus I jist don't think he would fair well on the stairs. He just wasn't having it.

Wedding at the Garret Club

We attended a wedding at the Garret Club on Cleveland Ave for one of (e:Terry)'s clients. The food was amazing and we had a great time with the people we met. The event was black tie so we rented tuxes. (e:Terry) looked so handsome in his tux.

Retina Display Macbook Pro 15 Inch

I got my new work computer on Friday at 4:30. It requires a lot of setup but the hardware is amazing including the screen. I am kind of mad about an ordering snafu where I grabbed the one without the discrete graphics card for the same price as the one with it. If it was my personal laptop and/or the purchase and setup process at work was faster, I would definitely return it. But I don't want to end up waiting another month and it seems so complicated. Maybe I should just write to apple and see what they can do.
