Happy Monday.  We had Jeanne’s belated birthday dinner Saturday evening at Vinny Vanucchis.  This is my fourth time eating there and I have to admit it is not my favorite restaurant.  Anyway Mark, Angie, Ben, Joshua, and Gabby were all there.

Gabby had just eaten and was in a great mood.  I even got a couple of semi smiles from her and then made the mistake of holding her.  It lasted all of 45 seconds and the tears and crying started.  I’m getting a real complex about her.

After dinner we all went to the Irish Hooley.  Taylor later joined us there and we sat with Graig, Deb, and Sarah.  They had helped with the Hooley and had great seats and they  graciously shared some spots with us.  It was a warm evening with a slight breeze.  Lots of people packed into a small area.  Not my favorite environment.    However the main entertainment was Gaelic Storm.  They are a wonderful Irish group with amazing stage presence, crowd involvement, and great music.  I really enjoy the show they put on.

I did a bike ride yesterday afternoon at the height of the heat index.  First ride in seven days and of course I tried to make up for the lost days of riding.  Check out my biking blog by clicking on the link located on the right side of this blog.  That is if you have nothing better to do with you time.  🙂

Thanks for checking the blog today.  I hope you have an enjoyable Monday.  It is going to be a HOT one so be careful.
