Slow Work Day

Fridays are usually relaxed and laid-back. It's when unused vacation days are scheduled to create a 3-day weekend. Some may be nursing 'St. Patrick's Day-induced' hang-overs. And the 80ºF Philly weather was too good to pass off! Oh, well, at least I got my 3-mile run plus a 40-min Spin class done over lunch. And still got to leave early!

Have a great weekend, friends!

Exiting multi-level parking garages during events like the recently concluded Philadelphia Auto Show require patience and a cool disposition. It took me over an hour just to get to street-level!

One Shy of A Half-Century

I turned another year older on Monday, one shy of a half-century! The Boss broiled New York strip steaks and cooked spaghetti with meat sauce for dinner. We uncorked a bottle of Shiraz that complemented the read meat and pasta very well. For dessert, we had a decadent turtle cake, which turned out to be too small to hold all the candles.  So we limited the candles to twelve lest we start a fire in the house! Cheers!
