I headed up to Steamboat again this weekend for the annual pig roast. It’s always a blast and a great way to get out of town. Highlights and comments follow.

We loaded up the car and headed off to my mom’s in order to celebrate her birthday. Earlier in the evening I picked her up some vases of blue glass and a massive rack of votive candles for gifts. We sat around my mom’s and bullshitted for a bit. I drank the last bud in the fridge and smoked a cigarette and watched pleasantly as my mom opened her gifts.

We then all piled into G’s car and headed out to dinner. We went to the Taj Of India which is a small, incredibly delicious, Indian restaurant that is tucked away in a strip mall out in the southern most corners of the suburbs. Look for it sometime, it’ll be worth your while. My mom and brother eat there often enough to have become regulars.

We came home at the end of the night with a new chair that will somehow be reupholstered. Just another project to add to the list.

Happy Birthday Mom!

I’ve been making some changes to this site. I’ve finally switched up to the latest version of MT. I’ve added antispam stuff that hopefully should greatly reduce the amount of spam I’ve been receiving lately. I haven’t had a chance to test the comments so send me an email if you have any problems. In addition, I’ve redesigned the Annex. Although there is no longer the ability to comment on the links, there should bee a lot more links coming through. I’m still not checking my email at work but at least the emails that you send me won’t be getting lost in the sea of spam I was receiving before. Of course that’s no guarantee that I’ll be returning emails, just a guarantee that I’ll be reading them. Probably.

I’ll be making some other changes and hopefully this will lead to more entries here.

I’d hate to run into this guy in a dark alley.
