I promise I'm going to stop with these bullshit recaps and actually post something substantial soon. But in the meantime, a recap!

Cheap Trick in Atlantic City was awesome. I snared five more of Rick Nielsen's guitar picks to add to my collection. Show was great but the venue smelled vaguely of cat pee. Tres bizarre. Larry David of Curb Your Enthusiasm was in the audience and Becky and I spied a couple celebrity chefs while sauntering around the casino. (Bobby Flay and Wolfgang Puck). Ride home through NYC was hell on earth but we survived.

Then it was Madonna at the Garden in Boston. She was phenomenal! And her show had a bit of a horsey theme so I was geeking out. Seriously though, she's an incredible performer and that concert goes into my all-time-great file. Mock me if you dare.

Sunday I had my very first 10K race. That's 6.2 miles for those of us who have no clue how to convert the metric system. Note I said "those of us" and included myself. I'm an ignorant bastard too. I placed 344 out of 594 finishers and ran a 9:54 pace. Slower than usual but I was taking it easy on purpose. I've gotten to really love running the past few months. (let me just say I'm amazed I just typed that sentence) It clears my head. There's something to be said about pushing your limits with no-one there to keep you honest but yourself. Jeff was talking about perhaps training for a marathon. He wants to qualify for Boston. Hrm...

In job news I've got a couple of bites on positions I've applied for and I turn in a project tomorrow as a follow-up to an interview I had last month. Fingers crossed on that one as horse ownership is always in the back of my mind. Sorry Love!
Speaking of jobs, Jeff has a new one. I'd try to explain to you what he'll be doing but it would make my brain hurt. His new title is like three lines long and he'll most certainly be travelling to London "on business". And to think, when I met him he was a humble (but lovable) speaker salesman! He's still pretty lovable I think, humble? Not so much. ;)
