Saturday

Today I bought a plane ticket to my sister's wedding, filed the associated PTO request, paid bills, visited a friend and her dog (and enjoyed excellent fresh Snickerdoodle cookies!), watched a Poirot episode, and ate take-out General Tso chicken for dinner. The latter wasn't all that good and just as soon as I find them on Yelp I'll probably feel the need to ding them.

I turn in with especial resolve to hit the day early to make it to at least one church service.

2 Mile Run After Work

Doug and I ran two miles after work today. Then I had my hair cut (though the barber didn't take to my idea to cut only the grey hairs) and watched a Poirot episode from Netflix while eating corn dogs. It's a life, I guess.

Cauliflower never tasted so good

Dad and I made Rachael Ray's pork with fig sauce and cauliflower puree this evening. It was delicious. We finished off the Poirot disc, a couple episodes of Have Gun Will Travel (season two), and an episode of Hustle (season 2). It's a television binge but I got home too late this evening to head over to the Desert Botanical Gardens, which dad visited today and he says plants are in bloom and beautiful. I hope to make it over there soon to check it out.

Guedo's

I left work a little early today to tidy up and then picked up my dad at the airport. We went to Guedo's for a fish taco dinner and then made Rachael Ray's mustard crusted salmon without the mustard, which was very good, as an after dinner snack and leftovers lunch to take to work tomorrow. For once it was really a thirty minute meal. We watched a couple episodes of Poirot (from NetFlix) before dad fell asleep on the couch; figures with the time differential.

Sins of the Fathers

I read Lawrence Block's Sins of the Fathers this evening, the first Matthew Scudder novel. Dark, very dark.

Keller's Adjustment

I read a relatively new Lawrence Block story last night, Keller's Adjustment, about Block's hitman character Keller adjusting to a post-September-11th world.
