The Weather Inside Ain't Frightful

I have a new desk. I have nothing of mine at the new desk but I do have a new desk in a new building. This building is really beautiful and so it is high profile for customer visits. I have to clean up my act in this place. One really nice thing that is in this building is the atrium. Inside the atrium are many trees and plans and a water area. Each Christmas a giant tree is erected and decorated. This tree has 4 way stabilization action going on too.

Spent some time with Dad tonight, we went over to La Havana for dinner. I got my favorite, Vaca Frita. Dad got a pork and onions sandwich. He was impressed with the food.

A pretty quiet day around here. However one really cool thing happened, I received my first shipment of 2009 Photo-A-Day Calendars from Vista Print. They are awesome. I wish there was some way to make a product that I created, available to buy through Visitaprint. But there is not. These calendars are destined for The Preservation Framer to be sold locally. However, you can buy my Photo-A-Day Calendar from Zazzle or Lulu. The Zazzle one has all the titles of the photos. I was unable to put them on the Lulu one. And Zazzle has discount coupons almost every day. I just want to give everyone a choice.

At Red Robin – AKA Man Date

At Red Robin - AKA Man-Date
Photo-A-Day #1341

Apparently when your wife goes out of town and you spend the night hanging out with your buddy it’s called a “man date” (See Below). Tonight I went and hung out with my buddy Mike and we went to Red Robin for dinner and then we went to the new showcase Cinemas at a Patriot Place. Dinner at Red Robin was really good, as usual. I had the bacon cheeseburger with blue cheese and Mike had a bacon cheeseburger as well. We took advantage of the delicious bottomless steak fries. I introduced him to the tasty flavor of fry sauce.

Now that is a tasty burger

We also checked out the showcase Cinemas at patriot Place. We saw the movie Transporter 3. It was an entertaining movie however there was plenty of suspension of disbelief. I suppose that’s what you go to the movies for anyway and so I really liked it. There are a couple of really hard to believe points as with any Transporter movie.

Some people have asked about what a Man Date is all about. Well, I did a little research and found a New York Times article about it. Here is the definition from that article.

Simply defined a man date is two heterosexual men socializing without the crutch of business or sports. It is two guys meeting for the kind of outing a straight man might reasonably arrange with a woman. Dining together across a table without the aid of a television is a man date; eating at a bar is not. Taking a walk in the park together is a man date; going for a jog is not. Attending the movie “Friday Night Lights” is a man date, but going to see the Jets play is definitely not.

And here is the rule of thumb on movies on a man date:

When attending a movie together – preferably with explosions or heavy special effects, never a romantic comedy – guys prefer to put a nice big seat between each other. (This only sounds like an episode of “Seinfeld.”)…
