Getting Ready

60 degrees in B-More today. Maybe we'll be in the 70's at OBX. Yes!!!!! Ed and I have been trying to get in shape before hitting the beach. Here's Ed doing a workout now...

It's a big challenge getting ready for all of the eating and drinking that go on at the OBX, but we think we've worked our way up to it. This stickie bun courtesy of Beilers Bakery at the Reading Terminal Market in good old Philadelphia, PA.

Just 'Cause

Hi gang!

No new crazy news to report out here...been plugging along with the machine these days. My company went through another round of lay-offs on Friday. As the news trickles in every several weeks or so, I just keep chugging along. I'll keep it rockin' 'til my day comes, I suppose (cross your fingers...that day doesn't come SOON!).

On the fun side (because we know that there's WAY more of that as always), saw a really amazing show last night...John Zorn at Yoshi's, a Jazz Club in the Fillmore District of SF. He's based in NYC, but has a 6 night residency here in SF this week. Each night is a different group. Last night we saw him with a set of musicians under the name of Bar Kokhba. They were totally amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCUcNJo2NZM&feature=related

Today, we're relaxing at the house until we make our way over to Dolores Park for a little Oysterfest that our friends are hosting. We usually head up to Point Reyes, but with the weather a little unpredictable these days, we decided to keep it close to home if the weather should turn. A shot from last year's Oysterfest...

Otherwise, getting ready to rock OBX! Our plane tickets are purchased, vacation time locked in at work, and I'm already sitting at the swim up bar in my mind. Really looking forward to seeing everyone and spending some time together. Til' then...OX.
