See! Beards.

Who wouldn't??
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
(apparently the actual insurance has a $5K deductible, but they have this OTHER insurance that covers that? Or something?)
We have something like this. I haven't needed to use it, so I don't know how it actually works in practice, though *in theory* it sounds like it covers our asses.
I have to say, Vinny Kartheiser looks pretty wicked with a beard: [link]
Holy crap, you guys -- with a beard, he really really looks like my comic store guy. That's eerie.

And Happy Birthday mac! I can't believe he's 11!
I will eat leftover birthday cake in his honor.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Happy Birthday, mac!
Kartheiser looks vaguely Wheatonesque in a beard.

Happy birthday, mac!
So it is 4:40 in the morning and I've just got to accept that I am awake, but there will be no coffee until closer to 6:30. That's like, almost 5 hours? Maybe? After a long, but productive day of meetings, getting rather lost coming back (I am not a fan of being the navigator when my map is a tom-tom and I do not know the route and I've got a backseat driver with even less instincts than...well, the driver and OMG JUST LET ME DRIVE....wait.) and then a prix-fixe 3 hour, multi-course dinner with a a constant stream of rioja.
Let's see if I can recall it...One of the courses was scallops, and since I have a family history of an escalating allergy to them, last time I ate them I felt a little off, and I don't really like them anyway, they adjusted the menu for a couple of us. It was just easier to go no-seafood for us.
So:
- little chorizo sausages and bread
- white asparagus in olive oil vinagrette and peppers and onion
- fried goat cheese medallion with a spring salad mix (frise, argula and endive, I think) with a sweet onion marmalade and one that I think was cherry/apricot something. (This was a sub for the scallop in cava.)
- seared artichoke hearts with some sort of jamon strips (sub for baby squid stuffed with tentacles and onions)
- Solomillo (bloody, sweet, peppery rare beef tenderloin without any other seasonings)
- torrijas (cinnamon pan perdu) with a custardy ice cream flavored with orange
- a thing sheet of almond-flour 'cookie'
I can't believe how much we ate (and drank.) It was kind of obscene. Thank god our work site had beautiful, glorious mixed baby greens salad for lunch offerings. Don't get me wrong, the food here is awesome! I just need way more salad in my diet.
OK, It's almost 5. I can now reasonably expect to shower, review the route, look for a room for sunday here and likely thursday in Segovia; go out and get coffee in there somewhere. I can figure out how I'm getting there to Segovia later. Hell, at worst, I just ask the front desk.
In closing (at least until I run out of things to do first thing in the actually acceptable to call it morning now) : [link]
