For what it’s worth, I have not been spammed by the Obama or McCain campaigns.
My band, The Flying Fish Sailors, is going to start playing the second Monday of the month at Shoeshine Charley’s Big Top Lounge which is two doors down from the Houston Continental Club @ 3700 Main Street.
Shows start at 9:00 and run till around 11:00 or so. Admission is free and it’s super casual.
The first show is March 10th.
Please spread the word!
We went for our annual eye exams. Cynthia’s got a sizable floater due to detached vitreous which was diagnosed a few months ago. This was our first follow up since that discovery and she needed to be dilated so the doctor could have a look.
She’s fine, but probably stuck with the floater. At least the retina’s not detaching along with the vitreous.
We’re splurging for new glasses!
We spent some time browsing around the Half Price Books last week while we waited on their buyer to give us a price on several boxes of books we were looking to part with. While we were looking around I came across a book on sushi preparation. Cynthia had commented several time over the past few weeks that she would like to learn how to make sushi so I suggested we get this book.
Cynthia had never attempted sushi before, but was eager to try. A co-worker of hers named Louis who knows a little about the process told her about a store called Nippon Daido which just happens to be around the corner from where we live. They sell everything you need to make sushi, from wasabi mix to sashimi grade fish. We stopped by on Saturday to pick up the supplies and today Cynthia tried her hand at rolling some home grown sushi.
This is the very first roll she made:
Not bad for a beginner!
I find it oddly reassuring that this little gem still inhabits the Internet.
