Feb 25, 2006

Our wedding anniversary. Cold blowing snow, a typical February day.
Geo and I met for dinner with four other couples at Jenn's favorite restaurant - Three Tomatoes. I must say, food and service were excellent, and I am adding this place to our favs, too.

Earlier Geo enjoyed the Mardi Gras parade, bigger crowd and better than ever, says he. He met Jenn and a few of her suitemates there, all vying for the beads and candy.

Later that night we went to the Capitol Steps performance at the Flynn. 'Twas an irreverent and hilarious take on current (imagine Cheney with his hunting gear) and not-so-current ( think a bloated Al Gore) politics. The real Senator "Don't Mess with Jim" Jeffords was in the audience, along with campaigning Rich Tarrant who'd like to take his place. With major crises all over the world, and what I'd call a bleak political scene in the U.S. for Dems and Pubs alike, it felt good to laugh at the politics of it all. We need a little humor now and then so we do not take ourselves all so seriously.

Tonite is our dinner for two - restaurant, reservations, and table selected by Geo weeks ago. I am really going to enjoy this quiet and leisurely celebration.

Arianne, Michelle, and I had such a great time with Dad at the parade. We caught lots of beads and enjoyed sliding around in the snow to get them. I was glad we could meet up with pa becuase it made the whole experience much more exciting! peace.... J.
