What a great weekend !
On Friday night, I went to the State Theater in New Brunswick with my buddy Frank to see the "Pink Floyd Experience". The tickets were a holiday gift from Frank. We went to a great restaurant in town for dinner, then to the show. What a terrific band! I've never seen Pink Floyd, however, I have seen Roger Waters and this band was terrific. Nice small theater with great acoustics. Here is a short clip from the show.
The dinner before the show was probably my first "heavy" meal since coming home from the Super Bowl. I had stuffed mushrooms and rigatoni bolognese. Also had a couple of drinks.
On Saturday morning, I brought Lulu over to the person that watches her when Emily and I go somewhere. Late morning we left for Atlantic City. On the way we stopped at a wine vineyard in Cream Ridge to sample some wines and picked up a couple of bottles. It was nice reminiscing for the 2 of us. The first time we ever went to Atlantic City we had stopped at this vineyard. We had a really nice time at The Borgata. It wasn't an ocean view, but nonetheless, here is a view from our room.
We had dinner at a Japanese Tapas restaurant called Izakaya. Second heavy meal in 2 days. Kobe beef on a skewer, lobster on a skewer and shrimp fried rice. The first one was no problem, this one had some slight repercussions, but not really bad at all. We bet a few races at the race book (no winners) and then called it a night. After breakfast this morning, we headed home.
After we picked up Lulu, we relaxed for a bit at home and then headed over to Frank's house. His girlfriend had a little get together for his upcoming 55th birthday. Typically, after 2 heavy meals in 2 days, plus room service breakfast this morning, I would do shakes the rest of the day. Today I didn't. I also ate at Frank's house. I know that might be pushing things a bit, but I feel really good and know that tomorrow will be a complete day of cereal and shakes only. It felt really good to get away.
Tomorrow, it is back in training day as I am now 3 months away from the half-marathon. I've got a lot of catching up to do, but will take things 1 day at a time in my training.
