I Love This Woman

This is what’s missing from my life right now.

New Food Plan

Trying a new plan this week. We’re moving the chicken/rice to lunches and now having a salad for dinner every night. Also switching from sushi rice to brown rice; too many simple cabs post workout / before bed. This is making lunches simpeler and dinners lighter. Hopefully it works out. I’ve gained about 10 pounds back.

10 Year Anniversary Dinner

Terry and I just got home from The Capital Grille. We originally had reservations at a different place, but the Yelp reviews caused me to think we were pointed in the wrong direction. It was serendipity. I called The Capital Grill and asked if they had anything open for the evening. They did. “Are you celebrating a special occasion tonight, Mr. Adamthwaite?” Yes. Our 10 Year Anniversary.

When we got there, our table had a very nice hand-written card on it and the table was scattered with heart-shaped confetti and red rose petals. It. Was. Perfect. The meal was delicious: steaks, lobster, lobster mac’n'cheese, wedge salads, IPAs, and a decadent flourless espresso chocolate cake. Kelly, our waitress, was the cherry on top. She made the expeience that much better. On top of that, the dim lighting would have totally prevented me from taking a photo with my iPhone, but luckily, they have a house camera and photo printer and took and printed a photo for us. A night I’ll always remember.

Decade One

It’s been a decade. Here’s to you, my other half. With you, I am complete.

Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine.
That’s the pain,
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.
So we wrapped our arms around each other,
Trying to shove ourselves back together.
We were making love,
Making love.
It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago,
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
It was the sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures,
It’s the story of
The origin of love.
That’s the origin of love.

Thanks for 10 years of support.
10 years of laughter.
10 years of friendship.
10 years of fun.

Phoenix Haboob 2011

Last night’s Haboob was intense. I got caught in it while on a walk with the boys.
