#38 Don’t Buy A Watch

The most surprising fail of the year. A Happy Father’s Day indeed.

There is no friend as loyal as a book. ~ Ernest Hemingway

Watched the Kings became champs while at the Dodger game.

I’m too weak with the carb-flu to post anything new, so here’s an old video of my nephew playing kickball with Grandma. He’s never asked her to play kickball again.

#5: Prepare 12 meals at home.

It only took a little over five months this year to complete. For the first time in years, Sonia and I are off carbs, including alcohol, and haven’t eaten out since getting back from New York. I’ve never felt more lethargic in my life.

Spent the weekend in the pool and read, Looking for Alaska. This was the book my Dad recommended I read, but I read, Chasing Alaska instead. Two very different books. Looking for Alaska is a very well written coming of age story that would have slayed me had I read it as a young man.

I’m canceling my Scottrade account.

#57: See 10 New Movies in the Theater

If you like fart jokes, you’ll love this movie.

New springs, reinforcements and stain for the fences. Exciting stuff. We have now completed 10 nagging home repairs. Unfortunately another 10 have already popped up.

#94 Read 10 Books

Really enjoyed, Chasing Alaska. The author did a great job capturing the many layers of Southeastern Alaska.

#5: Prepare 12 meals at home

Trying to go carb-less. Torturous.

Back home, but still in a New York state of mind.

3 for 3! Watched Her, Saving Mr. Banks and Philomena. All three were really good.

Eleven Madison Park is the top rated restaurant in the US and number four in the world according to the Pellegrino list. Subtract the cost of the wine and the meal was amazing and worth it.
