Week in Review

It's been a while since my last post.  Although it was a busy week, there really is no good reason for the lack of writings.   

Our new couch was delivered by IKEA's subcontractors this afternoon.  It fits in nicely with the rest of the room (see picture to the right) and it provides welcome relief from almost two months of kitchen chair sitting.

Christie had an interview with a consulting firm on Friday.   A camera was sitting nearby and yielded the photo on the left.  How professional...

We went for dinner tonight at an Italian joint called Meridiana.  It was on Broadway, near the West End split.  I ordered capellini alla bolognese (or spaghetti and meat sauce) and it was pretty good.  Christie ordered the margherita pizza and ate most of that too.  It was good, but not as good as the pizzas in Little Italy.  Going forward, I think we will go to Little Italy when Italian food strikes our fancy.

We have some visitors coming in the next few weeks.  Jamie and John will be here for the first weekend in November and my parents are coming for the second.  Anybody want to sign up for dates in December?

Lots of interesting stuff was in the news this week.  An ethanol train derailed in Beaver Falls this morning, leaving flaming tank cars hanging off of a bridge.  According to China, Kim Jong-il might have apologized for his nuclear test.  Others say he might be getting ready for another go.  The Dow closed over 12,000 for the first time on Thursday, but Caterpillar tried unsuccessfully to knock it back under on Friday.  President Bush acknowledged--sort of--that Iraq might not be going as well as we wished it would.  And finally, the Miami Archdiocese apologized to Rep. Mark Foley for naked saunas in the 60s.
