Lent started a few days ago and I decided I would give up alcohol. I did it a few years ago and it wasn’t too bad. The most amusing reactions come from friends that are used to ordering a round when we go out to eat, but now I have to remind them I’m sitting out. One of them half jokingly said next time I need to consult them before making a major decision like that. There a few events during lent that would normally be a party, but will be low key this year; trips to Atlanta, Vancouver, and Orlando, plus St. Patrick’s Day.
During Lent we’ll probably have a lot of Fish and Chip Friday lunches so I’ll be ranking them as we try out different restaurants. Sine on Pentagon City Row was first so its obviously in the lead. Their plate had 2 large pieces of fish, fries, and coleslaw, all of which was pretty good. I’ll write more once we try out some more places so I have something to compare it to.
Luke got his groove back today. I got mine back about 2 months ago. I’ll just say life is better this way.

Happy Mardi Gras.
Today is Super Tuesday, a day in which a lot of states have their political Primaries and a lot of candidates realize if they have an actual chance at becoming the President.
Today many in New York are still attempting to recover from the Giants’ SuperBowl victory and tomorrow many in New Orleans will be recovering from Mardi Gras celebrations. Tomorrow is also Ash Wednesday, or the beginning of Lent. Will you be participating by giving anything up?
TechCrunch also has an interesting article on why YahooSoft or Microhoo may not be all bad.

The SuperBowl is today. Will the Patriots make history or will the Giants pull off an upset for the history books. People are talking about the Patriots being the greatest team of all time and Tom Brady being the best quarterback ever. Maybe they are right, but we’ll never know. One thing we do know is both Tom and the Patriots need to be mentioned when the conversation of the greatest comes up.
Last night I went to Mark and Rachel’s for Rachel’s birthday party. We also watched the UFC fight. It was fun and the fights were pretty interesting because someone that was seemingly getting his but kicked would reverse a move and have to other guy tap out in a matter of seconds.
That’s all for now. Its about an hour to kickoff so its time to start the party.
