We were supposed to go the Whippersnapper gallery tonight to see the photoblogger exhibit, but CB is under the weather and needs to regain her strength before getting on a plane. Really, I was rather wiped tonight so I used that as an excuse to recommend a more low-key plan — dinner at Smokeless Joe — and then chill.

When we got there the place was packed, so we took the last two seats next to the door. Still trying to get the chill off (we walked there) we ordered a 750mL bottle of the Great Lakes Winter Ale to share. Tasted like gingerbread! I skipped lunch today (except for a couple of pieces of cake that T-Bone was doling out) so I was starving. After some tasty bread to start my giant bowl of pesto pasta arrived. Damnation, that stuff is good. A glass of Black Katt Stout to go with it and I was a happy man.

Now we’re back home where it’s warm and we can chill, watch a movie or two. We have a busy-ass day tomorrow (well, Nellie does; I pretty much finished my shopping today) so we’ll be up early and need our energy.
