Today is Michele's birthday. Happy birthday, honey! To celebrate, I will be making her dinner tonight. With apologies to the Governor, Lt. Governor, Treasurer, Oprah, and everyone else who scolds me for leading an insufficiently healthy lifestyle, the menu for tonight is Sear Roasted Rib Steak with Garlic Butter, Vegetable Penne with Pesto, and Key Lime Pie, with a glass of red wine recommended by my friend Ciro Poppiti.
Under normal circumstances, I would go run frantically on the treadmill at lunchtime to prepare my heart for the onslaught planned for this evening. But instead I am going to be running the gauntlet at Carl Schnee's class at the Academy of Lifelong Learning. I have been to his class three or four times now--it is 250 or 300 people, many of them retirees, all of them news junkies, and they ask the toughest questions of any audience I face. I will file a report later, along with an update on the past weekend's trips to the Ennis campaign in Middletown, the breast cancer walk, and the Pulaski Day Parade. For now, I need to get this key lime pie out of the oven. How am I supposed to know if the center has "just gelled" without sticking my finger in it?
