No run today, too many things going on. Finished everything in time to go to Silky's Crow's Nest Restaurant and Marina with my wife to meet up with my wife's favorite professor, Dr. G., and some friends in her Master's program to celebrate the end of the semester (and for my wife and a couple others, their graduation!). Just so happens that the Pens were playing Ottawa in the 5th game of the series so we had to hang out and watch the game to the end - triple OT! We lost, so we'll be headed up north for game 6 tomorrow night. We'll finish them off then. We love Silky's - it's a bar with a restaurant and their food is excellent. My wife and I got there first and so we waited for a few minutes before ordering our appetizer - chicken nachos, which come on a huge plate piled super high with stuff - had to ask for more jalapenos since they didn't put enough on it for me. I gotta have a jalapeno per chip or it's just not happenin'. So we pounded that. I got water to be good....and the fact that they've changed their policy and sodas are no longer free refills. So, I wasn't going to pay $2 per Coke. Probably a good thing. Their burgers are awesome. Normally, I'd get one of their special burgers (my wife always gets a steak), but tonight I decided I needed to go for it all and get the Pittsburgher. It's a 1 pound burger with just about everything on it. I knew after the nachos that I'd only be able to eat about 1/2 of it, but it's only about $0.50 more than the other burgers so I figured that would be two meals for me. I did, in fact, only eat about half as planned, but since the game went into OT, I started munching on the wings that Dr. G. had gotten and helped polish off the last 8 or so. I was pretty full by the time we left around 1am. Enjoy the pics!
