gridloreWent over to my mom's tonight for dinner. She made this great chicken dish, hard to describe but it was baked with a sort of garlic and cheddar cheese covering. Very, very good with Rice-A-Roni and a nice white zinfandel.
After that, we watched Night At The Museum. I normally don't like Ben Stiller, but this movie was fantastic. It moved along nicely, didn't dwell on the father/son story or the romantic subplots, and gave us a nice plot surrounded by what we came to see - The Museum of Natural History coming alive. Owen Wilson, who's role was supposed to be a cameo (but was expanded after he tested well) and is not credited, steals the movie as the miniature cowboy Jedediah.
A good evening all around, and i got a bike ride in on the deal.
Distance: 2.707 miles
Maximum Speed: 14.7 mph
Average Speed: 11.1 mph
Time: 14 minutes, 40 seconds
Calories Burned: 79.5
Fat Burned: 8.2 grams
Had a wicked headwind on the way up, and it was still over 90. Coming back was much nicer except for the asshole. Since I ride in the street, and have all the expected lights and reflectors, I follow the same rules as any other vehicle. So, when a lane I'm riding in turns into a right-turn only lane, and I need to continue own, I move over and ride as far to the right in the lane I need to be in. In this case, my wheels were on the white line that separated turning cars from the rest of us. The asshole decided he was utterly offended by my doing the correct thing, or was just a jerk, but he laid on his horn as he passed me. We weren't within three feet of each other, so I don't know what his problem was.
