cake and more

Big Jim's Chocolate Cake Day cake from yesterday has been hit hard already, but boy it was delicious! Not too sweet---even the icing (clever boy somehow used yogurt, I believe)---and nice, dense chocolate flavor. Normal obnoxious guy habits aside, I feel pretty blessed in the husband department. :-)

Busy with a deadline today, so here are my answers to the latest going around on Facebook: The 10 most unusual things I've done....so far (in no particular order)

1. Spent New Year's Eve at the police station. (The Philly detectives were supernice and offered to share their deli tray, while I looked at stacks of mug shots.)

2. In a rare display of fan love, I Amtrak'd to Baltimore for the "Homicide" set sale after the series finished. Still have Bayliss' Brooks Brothers shirt and Meldrick's purple tie.

3. Watched a mountain shake.

4. Rode a horse in the Himalayas.

5. Worked as a tour guide in a cave.

6. For my "acting" debut played a German girl kidnapped during the French & Indian War. All I had to do was pretend to read a book and then scream when carried off stage.

7. Survived two months of bed rest without going completely mad. Oh, and I had to lie on my stomach the whole time.

8. Visited the Corn Palace.

9. Parked my car in a tree.

10. Stayed at the Savoy Hotel and ate dinner next to Terence Stamp in the hotel restaurant. 

The brave can post their own lists in the comments. :-)

Finally, this customer complaint letter to Virgin's Richard Branson is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. (Thanks to Big Jim for the link!) 

hasta pronto,
