Long Weekend

Jo and I hate going out to dinner on Valentine's Day. We like going places where can order of the regular menu, and on February 14th, there is usually a "special" Valentine's Day menu, featuring fewer options at higher prices. This year we went out for our dinner on Friday. Went to Rillo's in Carlisle, a place we haven't been in probably 6 or 7 years. Had a great bottle of Shiraz, Wishing Tree 2006, from Western Australia. Smooth, not very heavy tannins, would be great to drink anytime, with or without food. Jo had a salmon & crab dish, I had the pasta-variety dish called Daddy's Choice (lasagna, chicken parm, and broccoli fetuccini alfredo). They were out of cannoli, so I had creme brulee for desert, Jo had tiramisu. Jo's desert was better.

Saturday, Jo ran some errands with her mom, stopped at the farmer's market in Lemoyne, then made us dinner. We had a beer/garlic cheese fondue, strip steaks with red-skinned potatoes and asparagus, and pecan pie for desert. Awesome food. Sunday, Jo went in to work for a few hours, while I did some laundry. Had dinner at Jo's parents and Cuff had made homemade ice cream for dessert (which I had never had before). Really good stuff.

Monday we cleaned the house, went to Jo Jo's dinner and had pizza, saw Dean Faulk there. Came home and watched Pitt de-throne #1 UConn!!!! Dejuan Blair had an awesome game... it's amazing how strong he is. Sam Young had a great game as well.

Annoying: Comcast. Awhile ago, our HD channels started coming in grainy or pixelated, then some stopped coming in at all. Last week, some of the non-HD channels started to not come in randomly. A guy came out to check things out on Saturday. He put a booster on, but said the cable line from the pole to our house needed to be replaced. He said they'd be out on Monday to fix it. In the meantime, our internet/phone has been on the fritz. Monday came and went, no Comcast. Called on Monday evening, apparently the time was changed to Tuesday (thanks for letting us know). Comcast = Evil.
