  • I Know It’s Not a Cheesesteak


    DiNic’s Roast Pork Sandwich

    but damn it was good. Roast pork with provolone and sauteed greens from DiNic’s in the Terminal Market. Never fear — I didn’t eat the whole thing myself — I saved room for the best soft pretzel I have ever had in my entire life!

    In addition to the chili, we got this for the game – cheesesteak innards over fries. Yikes!

    Yet another reason I’m happy to be getting out of town this weekend. I’m off to DC for a wedding — can’t wait to crash on the train. I’m pooped.

  • And I Ran . . .*

    whaddaya want, a medal?Well, it certainly was a scorcher on Thursday night, but that didn’t stop me from finishing my 5K. It was crowded as hell, but there was something cool about wandering around in a sea of blue before the race started — we had numbered t-shirts in lieu of pin-on race numbers. Although my friends Doug and Jenn started with me, I waved them ahead as they sped up to a less-snail-like pace. Somehow, the course started and ended uphill, and there were definitely two moments when I thought I was getting slightly dizzy, but a brief glimpse of General Public kept me plugging on. I finished in what was, for me, a completely respectable time — here are my results.

    I have to say, I’m pretty damn proud of myself, although I’m not planning on making a habit out of running 5K’s. I just don’t enjoy it as much as cycling. And as Doug and Jenn learned, running that much makes me burp. Not pretty.

    I finished off the night with karaoke with some law school friends — thanks to Raj for organizing! You can see the pictures here.

    * A tribute to A Flock of Seagulls, who played along the route. Not that song, unfortunately.

  • Would You Pay for This?

    Single in the city? Options abound, describes “simulated dates,” where you go on a date with a consultant, who then provides feedback on how you can make your dates better. Don’t think I’ve gotten to that point yet. Actually, don’t think I’ll ever get to that point.
