Okay, today is December 3, 2009 and it is currently 65 Degrees in NYC. That means I left the house without a jacket which may come as a surprise to many of you. I enjoyed my walk to work this morning and for the second day in a row, walked right by Mario Batali. Today he was with his kids hailing a cab. Once he dropped his kids off at school I imagine him going to the market and cooking up a big breakfast. Then he calls me and invites me over to try this new omelet he's come up with. Gwyneth Paltrow is there as well and then the three of us hop into a convertible and cruise around the city.
December 3rd...that means that in 17 days I will be turning 29. 28 was a great year but I know that 29 will be great as well. Check this out:
Twenty-nine is:
* The number of days February has in leap years.

Have you read up on how facebook's new privacy changes will affect you?
This just made me laugh. I don't know why.

Well according to these folks, we could actually get a wintry mix today. Hope you enjoy the weather, Skippy.

I'm sorry to say, but the number Weird Al uses as an inside joke is not 29, but 27. We even think he used 27-point type for the title on one of his CD covers.
Come clean Anonymous, I know who you are. Thanks for correcting Wikipedia. :-)
