Home alone
Christine is off to Paris again for work so I'm living the bachelor life. I wish I could go hang in Paris too, but Colorado isn't all that bad. I spent this afternoon on a bike ride with my cycling team. We didn't go really hard, but we put in about 60 miles. Afterwards, I ran some errands and did some house work. Cooking for one sucks; today I made a simple blackened chicken salad. I always see Belgian endive in the produce department, so I decided to give that a try as well. Sometime soon I'll have to try braising it, because that seems like a popular option. After dinner, I drank my loneliness away with a Belgian Trappist ale while I installed some new cleats on my cycling shoes. While not the best Trappist ale, it was still damn tasty. Those Monks can brew.

Have you scouted out any movies about suicide?
ReplyDeleteI can't find a movie about suicide (although I do have Mr Death on the way from Netflix). Ironically, there's a movie in the theaters called Jumper, but it has nothing to do with people flinging themselves off American landmarks.
ReplyDeleteThere are, however, some movies showing that may make me want to off myself:
Care Bears - Grizzle-y Adventures
Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour
Well, then you have to come dancing Friday night. Blues is like death right?
ReplyDeleteJohn would agree with you regarding Monks and their brewing skillz.
ReplyDeleteWhat does Christine do, and how can I do that too?
She's a software engineer with a company that has some European customers. More importantly, she speaks French and frequently works on a high profile Paris based customer's issues (and they understandably love her). She's also quick to volunteer for these terrible business trips. :) It's not all wine and cheese, though. She works hard over there and she called me at 3PM mountain time (midnight Paris time) having just gotten to bed after a long work day.
