Tonight, Kelly and I took a big step forward in our relationship.
I’ve been trying to rest most of the day today. I slept in. I kept activity to a minimum. But I couldn’t resist the 72 degree temperatures and Kelly and I did head up to Greenbelt to walk around the lake early this afternoon. I picked up some litter for Zeke on the way back.…
Kelly and I celebrated our first Valentine’s Day together today. We had dinner at Ruth’s Chris near gallery place, and as usual, their filet was excellent. Kelly had their tuna, which looked delicious as well. And we shared creme brule for dessert. Kelly got me a first edition of The Best Science Fiction of Isaac…
Even though we went to bed late, we were still up at around 8 AM. Around 10:30 or so, Kelly and I headed over toward Central Park. We arrived at the Boathouse Restaurant around 11 AM and met Kelly’s friends–Angie, John Jon (thanks, Kelly, for the correction), and their little girl Emma–for brunch. Surprisingly, we…
First, Saturday afternoon: sometime after noon, Jen, Jason, Kelly and I headed over to Central Park to walk around the reservoir. It was cold. We made it about 2/3rds of the way around when Jen simply couldn’t stand the cold anymore and insisted we more to someplace warmer. Initially, “someplace warmer” was Central Park West,…
Last night was poker night at Todd and Jenn’s. We arrived there at about 7:45 PM. Karl and Lee arrived shortly after us. It was a lot of fun. For a while, Kelly, who was a newcomer to the game, was kicking everyone else’s butt. She had amassed a massive pile of chips, but ultimately…
We went to bed early last night and so we were up pretty early this morning. I had a craving for strawberry banana pancakes and so we headed up to IHOP for breakfast. I wolfed down my pancakes while Kelly had cinnamon-swirl french toast and eggs (the eggs were not cinnamon-swirl). After a breakfast like…
We were up fairly early this morning, but lazed around for a little while before really getting started with our day. It was much warmer today and the temperatures are actually going up into the mid-60s tomorrow and Tuesday! We headed up to Buddy Attic park early in the afternoon and walked twice around the…
Saturday morning, after some usual lazing around, Kelly and I headed down to Mount Vernon to visit the home of George Washington. It was a lot of fun. I’d never been down along the Potomac river in that direction and the drive itself was very pleasant, especially the farther south we got. A bike path…
Well, the break is over and I was back to work today. The next official holiday I get off is Memorial Day (our holidays were recently restructured) so I guess I’ve got a ways to go. It was a pretty busy day, but I was fairly productive. I spent most of the day on one…
Although we went to bed really late, we were up by 9 AM and almost my first act of the New Year was to cook everyone breakfast. That’s right: I made breakfast. I used the new Black and Decker grill-thing that he11o_sunshine and stubiebrother got me for the holidays to make pancakes. I also made…
Slept in late, all things considered. The big morning accomplishment was that we actually finished watching Bedknobs and Broomsticks. I think it took us 5 attempts or something like that to finally get through the whole thing. In the early afternoon, we went to Target and I bought a few more items for the kitchen,…
