Had a great weekend. Our office is finally doing Summer hours and boy what a difference it makes, even if it is only every other Friday. I feel so much more relaxed and revived.

Went to my friend Celvyn's birthday dinner on Friday at a sushi place. Food was so-so but the real fun was watching Celvyn in all his drunk glory after doing about 8 shots of Johnny Walker within a 30 minute period. Then some genius gave him a tequila shot! Come on! That seemed to do the trick and eventually he made his way up the stairs to toss his cookies. Nice Cel. Real nice. Nice way to ring in the old age buddy!

Saturday was the Belmont Stakes. Big dissapointment as none of us won except Henry (who ending up coming behind in the end). I just wasn't too into it this year. I think Smarty Jones' depressing run last year just ruined it for me. Afterward we headed to Corner Bistro for the best hamburger, fries and Coke ever. That place is awesome. Nice heavy and meaty burgers cooked to absolute perfection. Crispy McDonald's style fries. Big mug o' Coke. Life couldn't be better. We topped it off with some desserts at Mary off Jane's around the corner. I highly recommend the Lime-A-Go-Go cake. But just don't get the iced coffee. It'll end up all over your white linen skirt like it did mine.

Sunday was a relaxing hot-as-hell day. Ran in the park. Saw the hundreds of cops preparing for war, I mean the Puerto Rican Day parade. So ridiculous how many cops, horses and padiwagons they had on hand.

Got some cheeses, french bread and grapes at Zabar's and had a little lunch at Riverside Park in the afternoon watching the boats glide by. A nice way to end a Summer weekend.
