Happy Anniversary!

Today is our 2nd year wedding anniversary! We went out to a very nice restaurant for dinner called "Veritas Wine & Bistro". Since we don't have a car, we biked there (it's only a 20 minute bike ride away). It felt a bit funny walking into an upscale restaurant with our bike helmets and our bike seats (we're a bit paranoid about bike thefts after having had a bike stolen this past summer). Oh well, they didn't seem to mind. We started off with an amazing tuna tartar and pan-seared scallops, and followed it up with a sable fish and Spanish sea bass. When we asked the waiter for a white wine suggestion, he came back with a sauvignon blanc. When we asked the name of the wine, we heard him say "Tie dye". Excuse me? "Tie dye"... um, ok... and then he brought the bottle over and it read "Tydy" from France. I'm pretty sure it's not pronounced "tie dye"... We're at home right now, looking at some old pictures and videos, and feeling a bit of nostalgia from the wedding. 2 years passes by so fast!

Booo... no train wrecks in the Biden-Palin debate

Ok, that debate was really boring. No train wrecks, no big gaffes, although I didn't expect Joe Biden (the "attack dog" of the Democratic ticket) to have an emotional moment. But really, I wish there was a way for the moderator to hold the debaters to ACTUALLY ANSWERING THE QUESTION!!

MODERATOR: Governor, please if you want to respond to what he said about Sen. McCain's comments about health care?

PALIN: I would like to respond about the tax increases....

*Huh?! Answer the question!*

BIDEN: Gwen, the governor did not answer the question about deregulation, did not answer the question of defending John McCain about not going along with the deregulation, letting Wall Street run wild. He did support deregulation almost across the board. That's why we got into so much trouble.

MODERATOR: Would you like to have an opportunity to answer that before we move on?

PALIN: I'm still on the tax thing because I want to correct you on that again...

*FACT*: The first section was actually on the subprime economic meltdown...

Ugh, and it went on and on... Now I feel guilty that I didn't spend that time watching the Canadian election leaders' debate, though I'm planning on catching up on it tonight. At least THESE people had some fun playing Palin bingo...
