Apparently my lady told me I strayed a little off the reservation w/ that last post. Sorry about that, it was just an attempt to highlight the capitalistic hypocrisy in U.S.A.. Guess it sounded more like Jaybird just went one scotch too deep and took it out on the interweb! Anywho... couple tidbits from the weekend. Saturday night was date night for the Birds. We went to see a movie and then were able to stay up and go to a late dinner! We went to see Slumdog Millionaire. We both really liked it. I had ignored the hype and not read a thing about it which I think was a big plus. It was a nice little movie that was pretty well acted, well crafted, well shot, and had an interesting story. 2 thumbs up. We then just did up an old standard L'Amante. They have really hit their stride. We ate at the bar and the service was good, the owners were friendly, the food was great and the drinks were well done. It is expensive but I would say worth it. Oh I forgot, Friday we got Get Smart from Netflix. There is a reason I forgot. Boring. Steve Carrell, it is a little early in your career to be mailing in roles. 1 thumb up my ass, it was a waste of time.
Sunday we did a little cross country skiing over at Shelburne Farms. The snow was not good and it was a little cold and windy but the location is pretty spectacular. We found ourselves in a wide field all by our lonesomes. We skied up over one hill and had an amazing view of Lake Champlain and a few spectacular homes dotting the shoreline. We then went through the well maintained woods, past a syrup line system and back across a field in front of the old Vanderbilt farm (castle). 2 huge thumbs up if you have the inclination to check it out. We finished the night w/ a very nice dinner w/ LB Squared who made a lovely beef stroganof over gnocchi, as well as DG and KB+. Good company and good fun. A little Rock Band and this oddly addictive bridge building puzzle game GOO something were also in the mix. OK, I'm off to feed Boomer, and become a human cat hair magnet.
