Getting a bit cold

It really feels like autumn now. We're waffling between nicely cool and "wow, it's getting cold" cold.

Events of note lately:
1) We had a big birthday party for Clau at the apartment. Got it done to the point where it looked good enough for the party. Oddly, though, everyone showed up within about a five minute window (like from 10:20-10:30pm), got hammered fast, and everyone was gone by 2am. I don't know if that's a successful party or not - it only lasted a few hours, but at least everyone had a good time for those few hours. Bindu was completely MIA at that time.
2) Bindu showed up about a week later, turned out that he had run off to Europe for his birthday. He had a belated brunch a few weeks after that which turned out to be a hoot. Since it was at Intermezzo (just a few blocks from our apartment), we invited everyone over for beer (left over from Clau's birthday) and chili (which we had decided to make that day in the crock pot). A spicy time was had by all.
3) Last weekend we participated in an NYC version of "The Amazing Race". We had a lot of fun and ran all around Manhattan. And, the best part is, we won! That's a picture of the victorious team looking all sweaty. Lots of fun.

I'll post more later about various stuff (yeah, yeah, I always say that, but hey, blogs take time and I like to spend my free time on video games, TV, stuff that matters)..
