Random-ness:

• We skipped SF on Saturday (thanks to allergies and other ailments)


• We had dinner at Andy Nguyen's again (consensus vote is that the pronunciation is "Nuh-GOO-yun," but I'm still not sure). The service was once again excruciatingly slow and I think they brought me the wrong claypot dish. Nonetheless it was quite tasty and I know we'll give them another chance. If not many more chances. At least the service is friendly - if not efficient - and they are not in any real danger of becoming the Zelda's of vegan Vietnamese food.


• We did make it to the Radar Bros. show - they weren't as good as I remembered them.* But then again that was 7 years ago and I was, to put it mildly, only in the beginning stages of becoming the person I am today.


• If life is lived in 7-year cycles, where I am going and who have I been and what will I be from this year forward?


• I just finished our taxes and except for the annoying bit about me losing a 1098 form (ugh), all is much better than I thought it was just 2 weeks ago.


• I ran through McKinley Park tonight after work; the sun was still out, the air smelled like camellias and everything seemed lovely.

*I will say this though: The singer from The Radar Bros. had the best line of the night (of the day, of the week, of the ever - at least in regards to chatty show people) when he directed this remark to the noisy crowd at the bar- particularly the girl singing the Bon Jovi song:

Yeah, we can hear you over here - this isn't television.
