Time for 2011!
It's Monday, January 3, 2011 and I just spent my last night in New Mexico for a while.
I'm going to miss the green chile, posole, rellenos, enchiladas, bizcochitos, the Rio Grande, the luminarias, the adobe, the mesa, the Taos Ski Valley, the sunsets and the smell of burning cedar and pinon.
The best meal of the trip was at a tiny spot named Rellenos.

But it hasn't been without darkness. I just returned home from a week with my dad. It's been so hard watching someone you love slowly fade. It's just another reminder of how quickly life passes. Do what you love. Love what you do. Love those who are in your life because you never know how long they will be with you.

Sorry if you've been following a blog that hasn't seen much action in the past few weeks. I've been a very busy guy and have forgotten to keep up with this whole blog thing. I've got 10 minutes before I get on a 22 hour flight to Hong Kong - so I'm going to be brief.

I was very honored to be invited to ride with the Krewe of Orpheus for this year's Mardi Gras.

I don't have much of a story here. I cooked a dinner for some good friends with a fantastic wine collection. We decided on a Spanish theme with tapas and cocktails to start, followed by a five course seated dinner.
The food was great, the diners were beautiful and good natured, and the chef didn't burn the house down. I call that success.

2. I can play No Limit Texas Hold'em all night in at least one casino (El Dorado)!!

I strap on my running shoes (yes, the first time they've been on in the last three weeks), put on a t-shirt, some shorts, and the ipod. My route takes me down 3rd to Giants Stadium.

I start the day off with a walk. After all the wine and food yesterday, I'm in need of a little exercise. I meander up the hill towards Japantown. I call my great friend Jennifer and we make a lunch date. I have an hour to kill, so I crisscross my way through Japantown and Pac Heights.

Today is a great day to walk around the city. It's warm, the sun is out, and I've finally got some energy again.
I take Market south and zig-zag my way towards the center of the peninsula. I slowly but deliberately make my way to Absinthe Brasserie and Bar.
