40 minutes til the bell.
tonight i am meeting jim at the museum to check out the new exhibit on chinese art. i think this is something that dad would have liked to see, but i'm not really interested in entertaining my parents for a little while...
in other news, i've been looking for the name of this fruit for such a long time that when i finally found out what it was, i almost fell over with joy. i was in a bar with some clients, having some appetizers, and i harrassed the already-harried cocktail waitress to tell me what those things on top of the the chicken skewers were until she found out for me. she kept on saying they were "marinated lychees," but oh no! i knew better!
ah, the loquat! fruit of my california childhood! you've been gone so long from my life, but i've rediscovered you!
life is good again!
well, insofar as fruit goes, anyway.
i had a baked squash today for a snack at about 10:30. it was the perfect timing for such a substantial little morsel. particularly after i dumped a buttload (okay, two pats) of butter on it and salted it.
horrible little being, aren't i? some healthy eater!
jim and i rode the triathlon loop this weekend. granted, we'll have to do it four times for the race, and we only did it once, but boy are those hills big.
and boy am i out of shape. well at least i was able to get a solid gauge on things. i swam on sunday and met a guy who had to be pushing 50 and was off to do the hawaii ironman! yes, yes, i was getting lapped. in a 20-yard pool, that is a lot like watching someone beat you in a race again and again and again!
yikes!
