Work put together a party tonight. We went to a really nice hotel and had a nice buffet dinner. Lots of really good food. I got to try passion fruit and dragon fruit for the first time. Loved the passion fruit. It was a lot of different flavors bursting in your mouth. The dragon fruit [...]
Check out Bread and Honey I have been reading this blog for a while. Another one from Lindsey. She just posted another link to it and I thought that I would mention it here. It is by far the best food blog that I have read. Not only are the recipes delicious, but the pictures [...]
I moved into my office today. We were waiting for the crew to finish up the area before we moved. They aren’t completely done, but it is close enough. I have never had an office of my own before. It is small, but it is something. I don’t know that I need an office, but [...]
The school got some new still cameras and I needed to check them out to make sure everything was working. I got up this morning and headed out to the Corniche. It is the walkway that runs along waterfront in the city. It is a really nice place to hang out or walk. I have [...]

I got gas for my car today. Wasn’t sure of the process here so I asked before I went. Full service only, and gas is cheap as hell. I pulled up and the guy asked me which kind and how much and then filled it up for me. I have to say that I really [...]
