Whatnots & Bon Mots

Just An Update

Another birthday come and gone. Turning 28 was really no big deal, in that it did not feel any different than 27 although I suppose the tolerance for nonsense that you had at 27 diminishes even further after 365 extra days. For me, I spent the day at home, on the phone with potential job people and then went to lunch with a buddy of mine to briefly discuss Copenhagen and Amsterdam and other various European locales where we might be visiting.

In the evening, I went to a wonderful restaurant called Ouest which I have been to many times before but is always tasty. I ordered the rabbit cooked 3 ways, and got slightly drunk on good wine with the folks then went back to their place where I promptly misplaced a cookie, received great presents and relaxed a tad. Then it was home to lay down on my new featherbed which felt like heaven and sleep like I was hibernating.

Today however is my mom’s birthday and I am very happy to give her the presents I got her which include spa gift certificates, a necklace and some other things. I also planned a nice brunch for her on Sunday at a Jean Georges restaurant, which should be great. Anyway, just a rambling update. I have my Columbia orientation on Friday which will be awesome and ill post something about that later.
