All in all, a most wondeful day!
- Wake up on time — done!
- Work out — done!
- Drive Liz to work — done!
- Hang out with
gieves on her radio show (ulp! and help out on air! Whee!) — done! (And a pretty good show, I think!) - Lunch at new sushi place with Liz and her graphic designer buddy Sandra — tasty, fun, and done!
- The Two Towers — inexpressible in language suitable for polite company. This movie was almost as good as my imagination, which therefore means that it surpassed all of my expectations. Thank you, Peter Jackson!
- Dinner with Liz at Vaccaro’s Trattoria in Akron (new kitchen-home of our chef pal Pete) — tasty and done! (Although a bit sloshy ’round the edges.) I had a delicious pear and walnut salad with bleu cheese, berries, and 20-year balsamic vinegar; a fantastic roast duck with sundried cherry risotto; and a molten center chocolate cake with home-made mascarpone gelato — all paired with a bottle of kickin’ California shiraz. I might add, I am still delightfully toasty as I post this.
- Getting to hang with Pete for awhile — priceless. I have realy missed him a lot. But he’s been very very successful at Vacarro’s — you should go check it out!
- Catching up with LJ, and discovering that I have inspired photoshop madness — excellent!
- AIM chat with Scott regarding TTT — fun. Hope I didn’t spoil to much, buddy!
- Sleep — come on down, you’re the next contestant…
- Mood:ecstatic
- Music:LotR: TTT - “Gollum’s Song”

Yeah, Pete pretty much kicks ass, both in the kitchen and in person. You’d probably get along well.
