Gosh I hope I spelled that right :). We are in the San Juan Airport after our cruise to the Carribean, and I've found a FREE wifi connection! Everyone is in a good mood -- the employees all have instruments and have been playing music for us. Unfortunately, it's always the same song, so it will be a long two hours.
Anyways, happy new year and merry Christmas to everyone!
Blogs4God is collecting reviews of the Narnia film for your perusal. I never read the books or watched the film, but I have gotten into C.S. Lewis through the power of Audible.com. If you are planning on going to the movie, these might be good to read.
In other news...Frank and I did two awesome things yesterday!
1) We went to the VIP restaurant, which is Korean. It was well-decorated (Frank and I both are partial to Korean asthetic), and well-attended. Frank got bulgogi, which is a spicy barbeque meat, and I got bebimbap, which is a mix of rice, vegetables, seaweed, and a big egg on the top, all in a stone pot. To top off the meal, we got an assortment of little dishes of things like seaweed, kimchee and tofu, each of which were a bit different and super tasty. The tea also was suprisingly "ricey" and good. If you get a chance to go there or to any Korean restaurant, I suggest you go, because it is a lot of fun!
2) We bought Delicato's Bota wine box. Boy has the world of boxed wine come a long way from Franzia! It's a great idea -- you can get a box of wine, which is like four bottles, and it comes in a box. When you would like a glass of wine -- you can actually go get it without having to worry about ruining an entire bottle of wine with light and oxidation. Supposedly it keeps up to a month without changing into icky vinegar wine. I suspect it's good for the environment and also it's good for your wallet (you don't have to pay for the extra glass/packaging).
The question of the day is, why is the band Dokken still around, and why are they playing in Anchorage this weekend?
Happy Weekend!
Today, the strangest thing happened. I was sitting in my office around noon, and I saw a light. A big bright one. Suddenly I realized I was seeing the sun actually shining! At the same time, it was snowing, and Bohemian Wax Wings were flying around our house again:
Anyways, I had a wonderful 20 minutes or so of hobbling around and taking pictures before the sun disappeared behind the clouds.
I'm hoping that tomorrow I will be able to manage some semblance of normal walking, so that I can at least shuffle in the snow and pretend to be skiing. Today, I walked up the stairs, with pain, without having to hold onto the handrails :)
EDITED TO ADD...the name of the birds. Thanks Dave!
I finished! Dad did too! I am very sore and miserable at the moment, it truly sucks to be me today, as I am reduced to a "monster mash" sort of herky-jerky walk if I want to get out of this chair. And that's not mentioning stairs...
Central Middle School kids dissect a baby beluga whale. Can you imagine how much cooler it is than the frog?
