Well, my brother and Becky decided to brave the snow and come out from Syracuse for a visit last night. They are no strangers to danger. I made a nice meal of swordfish which, as cliche' as it may sound, tasted just like chicken. After dinner, we went to Martini Grill for the best Dirty Martinis we've ever had. Then, we went to the Old Toad for one drink and Mex for one. The bars were dead, which was very nice for a change. We ran into Food Mike and Jane, which was a pleasant surprise.

As I mentioned in an earlier entry, Pat and I were supposed to go to Skaneateles today to meet up with our parents. Due to the weather, that trip was cancelled. Pat and I just sat around and watched the movie Pootie Tang. That's right, I said Pootie Tang. Unfortunately, Pat and I both fell asleep at the end of the movie, so if anyone has seen it and can fill us in, please do.

Tonight is K-dawg's birthday, so we're going to rally for more fun at the Old Toad and a snowy walk there and home. My friend Rachel from college is in town tonight, and I haven't seen her since August, so I'm really pumped to see her. She is always a guaranteed good time and she's just one of the nicest, most energetic people I know.

Well, we hope everyone is having a great weekend, as usual. Cheers.
