Steaks and Basketball
Ξ January 28th, 2008 | → | ∇ Blog |
Rosie and I had a good weekend. We started out after work on Friday evening and went to dinner at Harry’s Cafe -Steak. We both had the steak and several drinks and took a cab home afterwards. I’ve mentioned Harry’s here before, but I can’t say enough about the place. It’s probably my favorite restaurant in the entire city. They do everything right. Now, you’ve probably guessed, I can be a bit snobby about my steak (i seeth when I see someone order a steak well-done), but they have the best filet mignon around. You can cut it with a butter knife. Seriously. I can’t wait to go back.
The other highlight of the weekend was my nephews basketball game. I’ve been looking forward to it for about a week. Michael is in kindergarten and plays ball at his local YMCA. We started out Sunday morning, grabbed breakfast and dropped the dog (Brownie) off at my mothers house before we left. We arrived in NJ about 15 minutes before the game, so we got good seats and settled in. The refs did a good job at keeping the chaos to a minimum, but it was funny as hell. They are at an age when their legs are kind of short to be dribbling a ball, and their feet are big enough to get in the way. They kind of run with the ball, then dribble it -sort of, and it looks a little like football/basketball. When the ball is loose, you see 10 little kids dive for it with the intensity of a secret service agent saving the president. I think my favorite was the facial expressions of the kids running down the court. Each one determined to lead his team to victory .. or at least get to the other side of the court first. All the kids were well mannered , no personal fouls and no fighting. Everyone was a good sport which was nice to see.
We did lunch at Rosie’s sisters place and then headed home. We ate so much at lunch that we just had a light meal at dinner. Rosie has finals coming up this week so she disapeared to study while I was left to my own devices and started hacking out code .. to bring down “the man”.
