So, occasionally, you get one of those years...Marked another birthday last week and with a variety of obligations, managed to stretch festivities from Super Bowl sunday to a couple nights ago and the bulk of them sort of sucked. But you move on.

Met up with my sister for dinner at Rocco's in Clarence. It's owned by the same folks who own Sienna and a few other places and it was alright, nothing I'd go out of my way for. It had dubious beginnings. I called to get directions and the voice on the other end of the phone explained that they are in a strip plaza. I wanted to scream "No kiddin, as all of Transit is a flippin strip plaza there skippy.

Anyhoo, a few days earlier, my ex and I walked down to mythos for a late sunday brunch. I was intrigued to see that one of the offerings was Turkey Benedict, eggs benedict without the canadian bacon. I thought I'd give it a whirl, except the hollaindaise was made a lot earlier that morning. It and I had a parting of the ways in the mens room.

And so it goes, after a prefunctory party on the 8th at work, as we have all been beat down by our board of directors, my taste was gone, but a week later, I'm here doing online shopping as my mom-in-law (we all still family) hooked me up with amazon dollars and my folks did likewise from best buy.

Maybe I'll snag that chomby I've always wanted.
