singing for your supper...

thankfully that's not what i had to do for this lovely meal at "supper", where i had the most amazing asparagus salad. the clam flatbread was yummy, as were our larger plates, duck and waffles (yes, belgium waffles), and ahi tuna with a couple of dry roasted olives...my very first time eating these- an interesting texture, not bad except for the fact that it was like downing a cup of salt into your mouth (i actually liked it).

special beast...

took me long enough to finally plunk down the money to get a nice road bike....the sticker shock is slowly wearing off, as i'm fantasizing riding in the tour de france....yeah, right.   well, it's definitely a sweeeeeet ride, and i'm finding myself plotting times to get out to the trail to ride.

go Unions!

went to my very first professional league soccer game this evening...Philadelphia Unions vs. DC United. It was quite exciting and I found myself getting into the frenzy of the Union fans, though it must be a sign of my age that I found some of the fans extremely obnoxious...either that or I just lack 'passion'.
I think I figured out why girls watching this game... have you seen these soccer guys?! (besides Beckham, that is.) I'd rather look at any of these footballers over the over weight 'American' football players any day!
