It’s Day 6 of fighting this damn chest cold/cough that I can’t seem to shake — even after two back-to-back nights of Nyquil-induced, knock-me-on-my-ass, cough-suppressing sleep, including a full 12 hours of it Saturday night. Of course, drinking beer at Matt’s “it’s not a bachelor party” party Saturday probably didn’t help my immune system much. […]

The weekend began with Friday happy hour at the Olde Saratoga Brewery. Jen, Justin, and I walked there, but we couldn’t talk Jen into taking a shortcut through the woods and down a hill to the brewery. After a couple rounds at the brewery, we came back to our place for some Karaoke Revolution. Tired […]

It’s been a busy few days of partying to celebrate everything from the Irish in all of us to birthdays to just being alive. Thursday was, of course, St. Patty’s Day, so Justin and I got the celebrations started early with lunch at the Parting Glass. It was totally packed — standing room only, band […]

We waited 45 minutes after our 7:15pm reservation time to be seated. Despite the stupid LED pager thing, popular at so many chain restaurants like the […]

I couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather yesterday while skiing at Gore. It was sunny with blue skies and the snow was just right — only a few patches of ice here and there. The highlight of the day, however, was discovering my new favorite run at Gore, which must have been closed last […]

With temperatures in the toasty 30s-40s the past few days, we’ve been getting an early taste of spring here in Saratoga Springs. Much of the snow has melted and our back yard is a bit soupy. Despite having missed Chowderfest this year (one of our favorite winter events from 2004), Jen and I had what […]

Friday night was, of course, New Year’s Eve. We brought in the New Year with Jen’s cousin Courtney, in town from Colorado to visit this part of the family, Justin, Alex, and Cati. We started the evening with cava, creamsicle shots (Justin’s invention of vodka, triple sec, and Bailey’s), cheese, and crackers. Sometime around 10pm […]

Weekend projects included, but were not limited to, the following: Going out to the Wine Bar and Tin ‘n Lint Friday night with Justin Treating ourselves to new […]
