This weekend has been pretty quiet. I'm on a diet program at work and Friday was my third weigh-in. After three weeks, I'm pretty much where I started. So I decided to get more serious. Unfortunately, it was Jackie's birthday this weekend, which meant another carrot cake. It's hard to get serious with that around.
Besides the carrot cake, my non-beer-drinking resolve flew out the window a little bit on Friday when Ralph and I went to Arthur's for dinner. For about a month now, I've wanted to sit on the patio at Arthur's and drink beer. The whole winter/season/frigid temperature thing kind of got in the way of this, but the slightly warm weather made sitting inside at Arthur's even sound okay. So off we went.
The crowd was enormous. It makes me wonder if that 50 degree weather on Friday had lots of people out and about. There was nothing of consequence going on this weekend and with the holiday season just over, it seemed like a small crowd would be the likely scenario. We've gone to Arthur's other Friday nights and the place was half-empty. Just makes me wonder why so many people show up all at once or stay home all at once. Is there no free will? Are we slaves to a 20 degree hike in temperature? My guess is yes. Any way, the crowd was large and the wait was long. Made me thirsty. Beer with french fries and cole slaw. Not very healthy, but still veggie.
I'm also a little out of sorts because Obama has been in office for 5 days now and we still have no high-speed train service from here to New York. So the disappointment begins.
