Day 94

SF week baby! T-Minus 4 days until Leah and I hit this magnificent city. I cannot tell you how excited we are. Its going to be great..... We had a solid weekend here. Friday night we hit up Joe's Stone Crab with Jessica. It was real solid. This time was a different experience for me and for Leah. Going to this restaurant and a diet is tougher than I thought it would be. First and foremost, I said I wasn't going to have desert, which is so tough for me here. Their Peanut Butter pie is to die for. P went for his birthday last night and had it and said it was one the best deserts he has ever had. The other delicacy I was going to have to do without was the sweet potato fries, which are amazing. No Onion straws either. All of my go to's were cut out, except the Stone Crabs and the tomato, onion, and blue cheese salad. I said I was going to be strict until the trip where I would be cheating a little and I have stuck to it. I even worked out 6 days in a row last week. On the elliptical machine during Pardon the Interruption everyday. Makes the run go by a lot faster. Saturday I got on at the beginning of the KU game. It is the solid move to do that during the game since I literally am not paying attention to the fact that I am actually exercising and the next thing you know, 30 minutes has passed. I've only got three real days of working out this week because of the trip, but I know we will be doing a ton of walking this weekend.

Again, I have to prop up the big Mark P birthday bash on Saturday night. When looking back and being reminded of some of the stupid things I did (like recite the entire "converse weapons" old school commercial to one of Mark P's co-workers - what a p-rod I am) and some of the classic conversations we were having (like talking to some random Michigan State fan about what a whiner Tom Izzo is), it was such a fun time. Any night I do at least two jaeger bombs, good times always follow. The best part of it was that Jessica was nice enough to take the dog for the night so Leah and I could sleep in and not have to take the dog out in 20 degree weather at 7 AM the next morning.

Also gotta give some dap to my future brother in law Justin. He just spent the weekend in New York for his bachelor party. If you know Justin, you know he isn't a big party guy. But my sources in New York tell me he drank more this weekend than he has in the last two years combined and stepped it up big time, including a trip to Scores - a Howard Stern fan's Graceland. I am very jealous. I am also not that upset that I didn't have to witness Justin puking several times. Excellent job my friend!

Don't get me started on this proposed Coco Crisp to the Red Sox deal involving their top prospect Andy Marte. When it goes down, I will rant on about the cheapness of the Dolan's.

Here is a question for you. Lets say you are a big Steelers fan and your team is no going to the Super Bowl. You father comes up with tickets and Detroit is only a 4 hour car ride away from Chicago. The catch is your fiancee's bridal shower is that same day. What do you do? This is a dilemma that a friend of mine must face. I know what I would do. Going to see your team in the Super Bowl is a once in a lifetime experience. This is a no brainer. The shower is for the girl, not for you. So you don't show up at the end of the shower to bring flowers and help open presents. No big deal. Bottom line is bad planning by the people who had this shower on Super Bowl Sunday. No matter what time the shower is.
