This weekend was spent at the gym a lot (doing water walking in the pool now), cleaning a bit, going to see Alice, and trying to enjoy the warming weather a bit, and all I managed to get a picture of was my dinner tonight. Broiled shrimp and some ‘stir-fry’ quinoa with peas, corn and carrot.

Ok, it’s really Japanese. We had dinner for Mindi’s 19th b-day at Osaka last night. Good friends, good food, good times.

Didn’t really do much today worthy of taking a picture of, but I did cook this “chicken fried quinoa” for dinner, a sort of fried rice using quinoa instead of rice.  Added some edamame and mung beans for even more of a protein boost.

Ok, it’s not disco… it’s much better.

Not the best photo… but all I have for today. Had a dinner date, went to Mediterranean Cruise Cafe, was best shot I could get of the dancer with my camera phone.

Wow. This is my 200th posting.

I really should come up with something profound here.

But I’m kinda coming up blank.

It took me 20 months to the day to get this point. No, I didn’t plan it this way… just one of those things.

The tag line, “More than you really wanted to know…” still pretty much applies. I post a lot of stuff here, and I wonder at times if anyone really cares. But then I decide I’m not sure I do.

Yea, it’s nice to know people are reading stuff… I know I have some friends and family that do, and I appreciate that. Beyond that though, I have to admit… most of what I write is for me. Nothing against any of you… it’s just the way it is. If I really wanted to write for an audience… well, I’m not that good.

Been a few days since I’ve posted anything.

Saturday was taken up with paintball. Was a good day, even if we only had a small showing down in Morristown. I tested out the bullet-cam I have. Worked rather well mounted on my barrel. I need to play with the video and figure out how to post it. Maybe. It’s not very exciting, but there’s some larger games coming up, at least now I know it works.

Yesterday was Mothers day. (hi mom!) Had a nice day at the sister’s. I had a “lunch” of 2 or 3 shrimp for a shrimp cocktail. Everyone seemed to like the blackberry cocktail sauce I brought. Later, my brother-in-law and I went to see Star Trek. Was very good. Better than I expected even. And of course leaves a whole lot of doors open for the future.

Today, I packed a lunch… but ended up getting a small Wendy’s chili… ate less than half of it. Tonight, pizza. It could be a couple-time a week thing down the road. It’s easy and I can whip it together with whatever I have on hand for meat and veges.
