Weekend Roundup
After staying in Friday night in preparation for the potential 10K on Saturday morning, we made a last-minute call to bail on the run. A wise choice, in retrospect, as my trip to the gym Saturday morning make me cough something fierce. Seems to be winding down, though. The rest of Saturday involved noodles with

Time for a Tweetup

Cozy Food

TweetUp Upgrade

Atonement
Over the course of this weekend, I have committed the following sins and/or engaged in the following sinful behaviors: – I have openly mocked the gaudy McMansions we passed on our 50-mile bike ride. – I ate all kinds of pork and shellfish, including oysters at the Stone Street Oyster Fest, Momofuku pork buns, and
