Old Friends

Good weekend...
Yesterday I had lunch with my family at the always amazing Woodranch Grill for both my brother's and my birthday [a little early for me and a little late for him].
Unfortunately, I didn't have the camera with me, so no one gets to see the pan seared salmon I had or the huge slab of prime rib my little brother ordered. Sorry about that. I will say though that although the ribeye they have there is wonderful, and perhaps my favorite, the prime rib was a little disappointing. I had a few bites off of my brother's plate; only the first bite I took was uncontested. It just seemed... plain? Bland? Unexciting? I can't quite pin it down, but it was definitely too cool for being prepared medium. I suppose it's difficult to cook a piece of meat that size consistently proper, but these guys are in the business of it. Maybe my expectations were too high. Either way, I'd still recommend anyone to visit one of their locations as all other food I've enjoyed there has been excellent, and the service is always exceptional. I also finally hooked up the xbox live. Needless to say, I burned a few hours yesterday afternoon.

Friday night was Ignite service as usual with Pastor Chop coming back in good form. His insight was severely missed, and I'm looking forward to what's in store.

Saturday afternoon my mother and I attended a birthday party for a friend of the family's son/grandson/nephew. I stuck around late and hung out with an old friend and his girl. It's been a long while since we've really hung out despite having been best friends for several years while growing up. It was a damn nice night after I got over being a little awkward at first. I missed that guy, and his girlfriend is pretty rad too.

It was a mighty fine weekend indeed. ;]
