Trippin'

Birthday dinner last night for K with Mohrs at Drinkwater's on Camelback.  Their meat is "wet aged" as opposed, I guess, to dry aged (?)  Waiter's explanation was only unsatisfactory part of the evening.  The New York Strip was the best steak I've ever had, and I've had a few.  Joint is pricey ($300 for the 4 of us, no wine) and too dark to read your menu, but man oh man, what food.

Finalized two fun outings with Lar.  Next week we'll ride our scooters 350 miles up to the north rim, which is several hundred feet higher than the south, and be in prime position for the Wed/Thurs meteor shower.  No accomodations available at the rim, so we'll work out of Page for two nights.  Took the 'Wing out this morning for the first time in six weeks.  What have I been thinking?  It was great.

Then the week of the 23rd he and I'll fly to Coeur d'Alene for two days of golf at my favorite course anywhere - bent grass fairways and a floating green http://www.cdaresort.com/floatinggreen.asp - and stay at the groovy resort Kris and I really enjoyed.  Was slogging around on the net, trying to get this arranged and had muddled along to the point where I had L & me in a converted school house cum bed & breakfast.  K pointed out that this would likely mean L trying to 'spoon' with me, as most B&B's have only one bed per room.  Uh oh.  K took over the planning with timely and astonishing results.  Separate beds, tee times, rental car, everything's perfect except she's not coming.  Something about a gig in LA.
