We met Kenny and Gina and Gina's mom last night for a nice dinner in an interesting little spot called Adolpho's, right across the street from Bicycle Michael's in Faubourg Marigny. Actually, we met across the street at DBA where I had a great glass of Rouge Mocha Porter (a tough call, since they also had the Hazlenut Brown Nectar and Dead Guy Ale, but the Porter was on tap!). The food was great and the place has the same atmosphere as a typical 3-room upstairs apartment, which I'm sure it once was. Casual is an overstatement for this little spot, but the waiter speaks with a thick Italian accent and the cook must know his stuff.
Early this morning I was awakened by cellphone noises as the power went out, then back on, then out, then back on again. It was around when I normally get up to ride, but since we had Gina's mom staying at the house I decided to skip my usual easy Friday ride and instead fire up the coffee maker. A couple of hours later Givo and mom headed West on I-10, destined for Tucson, AZ.
I think I felt a "great disturbance in The Force" as they left. Or maybe it was just that I had to go to work instead of on a road trip!
The city is now all socked in with fog and mist ahead of a line of rain heading this way, but I think we'll probably have decent riding weather for tomorrow's Giro and even better weather for Sunday's winter training ride across the lake.
The Daughter is heading to Des Moines for their meet with 10th-ranked Iowa State tonight. We'll try and follow it via the Live Scoring website.
