Rocky Situation

We still had these rocks in the driveway that were a holdover from our battle with the dance camp days. Two got covered in snow and I ran them over. Somehow, almost impossibly the rock which is about 50lbs turned itself up and jammed between the frame, the muffler, its pipe and the tire.

I had a lift but that didn't help. I had the car jacked up 100% but still no budge with the rock. I ended up missing a follow up doctors appt because I just couldn't get out.

Taking the tire off might have helped but somehow we don't have a tire iron. I ended up spending the better part of two hours in negative temp smashing parts of the rock with picks and sledge hammer till it finally released.

I took the rest of the rocks out of the driveway so this can't happen again.

Moving On Up

I got offered and office again thanks to that hard work of one my favorite people at work. I also got a briefcase from (e:terry) and (e:joe) for my birthday. I am feeling more professional already although its going to be hard to give up the backpack. Maybe it was the only thing that kept me looking young ;)

Birthday Dinner at Rue Franklin

We had my birthday dinner at Rue Franklin last night. The food was amazing. They even made a delicious off the menu veggie meal for (e:joe). It was such a great time.

I had Grilled octopus with winter beans, radish and olives, a cheese platter, beef tartare with a citrus sauce, and duck and sausage stew.

We drank it down with a delicious bottle of red wine and I topped it off with Creme Brulé.

Afterwards, we came home for delicious truffle cake that (e:joe) made and I opened my gifts. They got me the leather bag I had been asking for and (e:mike) got my a fancy wine opener although his real gift is helping me write the thank you cards for the wedding.

All in all, it was an amazing birthday.

Random Food

I am so into eating a bunch of random veggies with proscuito. It tastes so damn good and I got around 15 lbs to go. The artichokes at Wegmans and Trades Joes were so good this week. I wish I bought more.

Blood Pressure

I brought a blood pressure monitor because I am obsessed with health monitoring. My blood pressure is pretty damn good.

On the other hand my pulse rate is generally pretty high like 70-80. I want it to be 60. I guess the answer is more cardio.

Surprisingly, it appears that physical labor and excerise have almost no effect. It tried lifting weights and exercising and it only went up a few points. You can tell I was exercising at the time based on my pulserate. I was even dancing to happy hard core and then listening to gabber when I took the measurement.

Dancing at Toro

On Friday night we went dancing at Toro for (e:Joe)'s friends birthdays after the Rochester party was canceled. Toro just isn't my scene. It felt like a long island dude bro fest and I wasn't wearing a gold chain.

Becomming 37

I can't believe I will be 37 this week. It seems like just yesterday that I was 17. Last night we went out with some friends for their birthday at Toro. The bouncer thought I had fake ID because he didn't think I looked like I was born in 77. He ended it with, "good for you man." That felt good.

Gas Price

The other day I let the fuel get real low because I was in a hurry. I never let it go down that low. When I filled it up it was more than 14 gallons. Must be a 15 gallon tank.
