Last night Robert and (e:terry) and I went out for valentines dinner at Madonnas. The food was amazing as usual. I wish I could have gotten better pics but it was dark and I had to use flash.

The fried artichoke hearts are so good. Lightly coated and fried so that they were crispy on the outside and juicy and delicious on the inside.

They use smoked mozerella for their cheese sticks which gives it a nice smokey almost bacony taste.

Afterwards the owner shared some moonshine cherries and raspberries with us and we talked about the business and the neighborhood. Being a home owner only a block away I really appreciate local businesses like this and what they offer to the community.

The whole evening was pretty great.

I am so happy right now.

...Belong to me and I am allergic to most of them.

Its fat Tuesday but I'm tired. This year doesn't feel as festive as usual. The performances were good but maybe I'm just tired from last night. So many groups of people. (E:mike) and I had our classic tuesday chicken finger club at Jim's like the old days.

Last night I went to a birthday party at Gabriels Gate which has great wings by the way then we hit up cathode. When we got there I thought no one would be inside but when we opened the door it was slam packed. Who knew Mondays.

Afterwards we hung out at the house and Robert and Alex traded friends and music.

I can't wait for the new bed and tails on Friday.
