Lunch at the Del Monte

A quiet evening here.  I had a great lunch at the Del Monte Restaurant on Murphy in Sunnyvale - the pictured chicken parmigiana in the entry below.  I've been there to lunch twice and both times the food was outstanding. I spent most of the day at work doing deep research, which provided me with some insights that I will be able to fold into the project I am working on.  I will do some additional deep research this weekend as well.

T.R. is back in Charleston, having traveled most of the day, so I am excited for her.  Her relocation to Charleston is the culmination of a long dream, a dream she has had as long as I've known her, so that is just pretty cool.

I spent the evening watching four episodes of the third season of Deadwood and I will probably finish it off over the weekend.  I also made sure that all the patches and updates were applied to my laptop, so that was a pretty time consuming processing.  In a short while I am going to slip off to bed and wind the night down reading some more of "Odd Apocalypse".  All in all it was a good Friday. I'm looking forward to the weekend.

Trixie Owned Deadwood

Paula Malcomson, the actress who portrayed the prostitute Trixie in HBO's "Deadwood" owned the series.  She was a well-written character played by a brilliant actress.  I had forgotten how good the series is - truly excellent.

Friday and HBO's Deadwood

Today the Kitten Posse went to the Spa on the Island, which pretty much consumed my imagination.  It was a good day at work - nice, quiet, easy, productive.  Don and I had lunch at Black Angus in Milpitas, then I wandered home a little early.

I'd ordered a pair of cross-trainers through Amazon, since none of the local stores had my size (11 Wide) in the brand of New Balance cross-trainers that I wanted.  They arrived today and they fit well. I tried them on and spent most of the evening walking around in them to test them out.

For the last couple of weeks I've been wanting to re-watch an HBO classic - "Deadwood".  I started this afternoon and am working my way through the first three DVD's this evening.  That is an excellent series.  We'll see if I can get all the way through the set this weekend - or perhaps Season 1 this weekend and Season 2 the next.

I am looking forward to the weekend, hoping it is going to be slow and easy, like this evening is.
