Promises Made, Promises Kept...
I said we've been busy and I wasn't lying. Here's why:

30th Birthday Party:
Sarah hosted a 30th birthday party for me with many family members and friends in attendance. It was really great seeing many of my relatives here in PA. I also enjoyed a late-evening poker party with the guys. It was the first time I was completely blown out of the water. My earlier criticism of the differences between PA and DC/MD poker players still stands.

Go West, Young Man!
Sarah and I spent a week out in the Bay Area visiting our friends Rob and Wendy. It was fortituious timing for all involved. Rob just got a job in Sioux Falls, SD at CSD after a 6 month down-time after his last contract expired. He took advantage of the well-toned muscles yours truly to get lots of grunt work done. Their house is up for sale so if you're in the market for a nice home in the San Francisco area, give them a ring.

Their place was beautiful. We enjoyed the change of scenery and took advantage of their superb babysitting skills to enjoy a night out in Oakland's Ridgemont district. We ate at Crepevine; which is a crepes place where you can get sweet and savory crepes. Sarah had italian-style crepes and I think I had some egg-stuffed crepes with apple-smoked sausage. Good stuff.

Later that week, we ate at a GREAT mexican place. Dammit, tho. I can't remember the name of it. When I remember, I'll post it again. Good true mexican food.

I've heard this several times already!
If you ever want to be made to feel like scum of the earth, lower than Mephistopheles, or worse than a democrat appearing on Fox News; then start your own blog. People will crucify you if god forbid, you don't post on a regular basis.

been very busy lately. I promise I'll make time tomorrow to post updates!
