the weekend...

I have to say I had the best weekend. Especially yesterday (Sunday). It was the prettiest day I have seen in a long time. I am part of our local city beautification board and I had to judge downtown residential properties for Memphis' Business Awards. It was really cool to drive and look at all those pretty houses I will never be able to afford (sigh). I went to the baseball game with one of my best friends and it was so relaxing. I have to tell you about what I ate. I already admit I took a detour from my diet. But when you hear this you will fully understand why. BBQ nachos. For those of you not from the South, Memphis is known far and wide for their BBQ. We have all sorts of cook-offs and contests -- our big one just concluding last month as part of our Memphis in May festivities. It is really one of the few really positive aspects of living in Memphis. Picture this...corn tortilla chips covered in pork BBQ, sauce, cheese on top of that, and covered with dry rub. I don't know if it has an official name, but my vote goes for Throw Me Down and F**K Me BBQ Nachos. Ballgame, beer and BBQ nachos. Yes, people, life doesn't get much better than that. Except it does...after that, I met a really good friend of mine at a local gay bar for their Tea Dance. Talked to some nice guys and felt really comfortable in the bar setting (remember - newly out). Following that - I returned to friend number 1's house to watch the next to last episode of the Sopranos. Tony's gonna get whacked -- I just know it...
