Not much going on here... just watching the entire financial system seize up and puke on itself. Everyone seems to be talking about going back to Wampum as a commodity, and stockpiling the Costco emergency food kit and guns. On our end we have been working long hours, drinking scotch, and then not sleeping for a few hours a night. GOOD TIMES!!! On the bright side, this weekend we went over to NY and attended our friends' wedding at the Sagamore over on Lake George. It is really a beautiful property. The golf course was also fun and quite well maintained. We were having a decent round until it opened up and down poured on 16. At that point the strokes started adding up, the clubs started flying, and so did the expletives! Later in the evening we managed to come up w/ some pretty constructive ideas for life after finance... Wedding band!! That is until some 8yr old punk showed me up on the bongos! I got kicked out of the band I helped start before we played our first gig, or even practiced for that matter! Once I resort to drugs, and then clean up, and then relapse, and then find God... it will be the perfect script for a Behind the Music.
On Saturday it seemed like a good time to check out the new Vietnamese joint, M. Saigon, over on Shelburne Road between the Blimpies, and Waterfront Video(not on the waterfront by the way). Great location? Check!! As we went for the early bird special at 4:48PM we were not all that surprised to be the only ones in the restaurant. A few more people slid in after awhile but I am not sure there is much action at M. Saigon. Plus there were only 2 people working there, a cute waitress and someone in the kitchen. For a brand new place the dining room was not that clean. It did have a funny picture of the Notre Dame cathedral in Saigon, you know, because there are not that many other locals in Vietnam that have more cultural significance. The food was ok. We had some decent spring rolls, the shrimp was a little fishy. I had a pork noodle dish. It was ok at best. My special lady had a spicy tofu noodle which really was spicy and better than my meal. Still nothing special. What was special was the bubble tea. Bubble tea Is a drink that combines ice, a liquid (tea, coffee, juice, etc...), and jumbo tapioca! You then mix it up and drink it through a huge straw. Is it weird to be drinking tea and then have a huge tasteless gummy ball hit the back of your throat? You bet your ass it is! But drinking and then chewing your drink has a strange allure, I can't lie. M. Saigon gets a limp 1 thumb but will go into the Jaybird take out rotation. So there you have it. We are rallying, got to go!!!
