Sailing Along

It's been a busy few days, but before I forget, congrats to Alex Ovechkin for being the new cover boy for EA Sports for NHL 2007. For being on an unknown team, the kid's doing pretty well. Calder Trophy first and now this. I even had a dream about him last night that he won some ESPN award for best hockey shot. I know, I know...I'm dreaming about hockey and it's July. Whatev. I love Alex the Great!

Now back to the busy-ness. Yesterday was pretty great because I spent it in Annapolis having lunch and then going for a sail, all courtesy of work. Very nice day to be out. 85 and sunny after a week of the torrential downpouring. Plus being out of the office is never bad, even when you have to be out of the office with office people. You know? Last night was a 2-year-old's birthday party, which is right about my speed this weekend. Not to mention ice cream cake.

Cheap Eats on Wednesday was super. Austrian/Italian - lots of past and weinerschnitzel at Cafe Tirolo. It's only open week days and there's no place to sit inside. 17 people showed up, which I think is a record for a Cheap Eats dinner. Good thing they had so many outside tables. I had a tomato and goat cheese salad that was very good. Not very Austrian or Italian, but good. Today, I'm going to be taking it easy. Maybe heading out for some shopping and a mani/pedi. We'll see what the day brings. A friend is bringing over furniture so I'm looking forward to that good stuff.

Last night I saw my first opossum at this house. Those things are creepy but it's fun to watch them run. Big, fat and waddly with beady eyes and a rat tail trying to move fast - very amusing.

Off for a walk of the neighborhood before it gets to be a million degrees. I hate when that happens.
