Under the weather

I have a cold. It seems to be more prevalent in the evening then during the day. I'm stuffed in my ear, my nose and I feel just blah.

Amy and I are working on the ingredients for this Saturday night's gourmet club. Every 2-3 months or so we get together with 5 other couples and cook. Sometimes its great sometimes not so great. This time we are recreating Babette's Feast. If you've never seen it, its a 1985 foreign movie based on a short story by the same author who wrote Out of Africa. I haven't read the story and the movie isn't exactly riviting...but the part where they eat is fabulous. I'm too tired to describe everything today, but I'll give a blow by blow after the dinner on Saturday.

1st Post

Ok,
After the success of my Rome blog, I thought I would try my hand at publishing on a more permanent basis. Just a quick hello...will introduce myself more later. For now, I'll note that I'm still undecided in this election..I think the latest I have been so in some time, although I'm leaning towards Obama. From a non-work point of view, I'm focused on this week (in no particular order)

1. the Super Bowl....my prediction is 38-10 New England (go Pats)
2. Nate's fencing tournaments
3. Losing some more weight before my upcoming physical (playing bball tonight)
4. Babette's Feast Gourmet Club upcoming this Saturday night (clearly not in line with #3)

I have no idea if my blog will be interesting to strangers, but I do plan on letting my friends and family know about it.

Happy to hear your thoughts as well, so do feel free to comment.
