Relative Something

OK folks, we didn’t hit a peak of traffic here yesterday, but those of you who did visit and participated in my little email scheme did GREAT! Remember, it’s not too late! Send Cyndie a belated birthday greeting and extend her celebration. We had a pretty good time last night. The restaurant of choice turned out to be The Melting Pot, downtown Minneapolis. That made it convenient for Elysa because she was working until 6:00 and already downtown. Cyndie, Julian and I went down in her convertible and we enjoyed a long meal together for the first time in a very long while. For those who are not familiar, that aptly named restaurant is a fondue place. I spent a lot of money to go out and cook my own food, but it was fun.

Got home too late to watch any of the 4th Stanley Cup game and also too late to see the season premier of “Burn Notice” that Cyndie was hoping for. But all was not lost, the network smartly replays it later in the evening, so she got to extend her day all the way to midnight and stay up to watch the program. I mostly was awake with her to the end. One of the hardest practices I struggle with is getting a full night’s sleep. I got up this morning for soccer and dragged myself to the game to find an uncharacteristic (of late) low turnout. I should have slept in. At about 1:30 or 2:00 this afternoon, I’ll REALLY be wishing I’d slept in. Got good exercise anyway.

Tomorrow was supposed to be a day of biking to get my body prepared for the big trip coming in a week, but I hear it might be cold and rainy. Just might have to try and catch up on some of that missing sleep…
