There was also the eating of pizza and the watching of TV later in the evening, but that remains undocumented by photography.

Incognito
Hey, kids. It was Halloween just a moment ago or...um...two months ago. So much for the timeliness of a blog. ;)
A group of us ventured out to Mickey's and the Harmony for some
incognito fun. Our group consisted of a sorceress, The Great Pumpkin,
Frankenstein's monster, a garden gnome, and Coraline.
There was also the eating of pizza and the watching of TV later in the evening, but that remains undocumented by photography.

Crazy Birthday Hats
On the Friday of my birthday (in late September), Jason and I went to the Blue Marlin for dinner. He started with the Thai curried crab soup with lemongrass, which he thought had the perfect balance of rich coconut milk and spicy kick. The rockfish special was buttery and yummy.
I started with a salad and had the eponymous blue marlin with roasted red pepper risotto, anchovy croutons, and braised chard. The marlin was a bit too dense and somewhat lacking in flavor, but it was moist. It might be that marlin just isn't my favorite fish. I'd love to go back and try something else.They do need to improve their coffee, though; it was pretty bad.
The waitress was attentive and friendly, but not to the point where she was constantly hovering. And I like the intimate atmosphere with low lighting. It made for a special dinner.
On Saturday, a group of us went to Nick's for dinner and then onto the Ivory Room for some piano bar wackiness.
The next week, Abby, Heath, Brenna, Jim, Mike, and I had pizza and salad, followed by a decadent apricot cake with hazelnut buttercream frosting from La Brioche. That cake was so massive that it was shared multiple times with several different people. We had slivers before the Richard Thompson concert at the Stoughton Opera House, and I took it to work, too.
