Well, I have decided to go ahead and get another tattoo. The design I am going with is a lotus flower. However, I have not quite decided on which design to use. I thought… why not let people vote. So now I present to you the first poll at Betterfly.

I will likely get the tattoo when I am on vacation the week of March 12, so vote soon. I will leave the location a mystery at this time, but the tattoo will be 1 to 1.5 inches in size.

I was poking around today and noticed some new events in the RSS Feed for Savoy Bar & Grill. The Grand Opening event is finally scheduled for March 3 and it sounds like it will be a great time. Additionally they are starting wine tastings every other Saturday. The two they currently have scheduled are both priced at $15 per person for multiple tastings and light fair. The tasting events are going to be from 3pm to 5pm. It looks like I will have something to do on my lazy Saturday afternoons.

Anyway… on to my main point. It was about lunchtime and my buddy Jeff and I decided to shoot up the heights for lunch at Savoy. Granted it’s a trek and traffic was a bear in some spots we made it across town. We started off with the Classic Marguerita Flatbread (basil, tomato, house made mozzarella) as an appetizer. It was delicious and very fresh; the thick tomatoes had a wonderful taste and texture. Jeff and I both order the Classic Angus Burger. Granted it’s just a hamburger, we wanted to try it out.

Ok… I’m really going to talk about the dessert now. We were done eating and I decided I would look at the dessert menu to refresh my memory. Unfortunately some of the desserts looked to good to pass up on. With the trusty advice of my Savoy friends Lynn and Nicolette I decided to try the Chocolate Mousse Torte.

OH… MY… GOD!!!

This was the best dessert I have ever had. Seems Savoy has hired them self a winning pastry chef. Darci Boucher was previously a pastry chef at The Wynn Resort, Le Cirque and Picasso. Darci comes to Savoy from Vegas and brings what looks to be a top-notch talent for satisfying my sweet tooth. I tried to order 6 more to go, but Jeff wrestled me out the door. I recommend you get to Savoy right this minute and have yourself some dessert.

Keep an eye on the special events at Savoy… one of the upcoming events is an Amazing Champagne, Cheese and Dessert Tasting. Make your reservation now to see wonderful treats Darci has cooked up for this event.

It may only be stress, but lately I have been feeling lost and an urge to do something new. I don’t think I am having a midlife crisis, but you never know. They say the average age for a midlife crisis is 46, so I am quite a ways off from that. I think my issues stem from the drama I have had to deal with at work over the last year and my total lack of any social activities. Ok, that’s a lie. I do get out but not nearly as much as I should.

If I was to have a midlife crisis, I don’t think it will be your typical, “go out and buy a sports car”. I say this mainly because I don’t really like to drive, and getting a sports car just doesn’t fit. I think lately my urges have been more of rebellion of sorts.

I have started to dip in to my list of tattoos. I’ve always been very cautious of getting tattoos so that I don’t have any regrets. My list is pretty short, but it is a list I have thought over for years. I currently have only 2 tattoos, the latest I got last October. However, both of my currents ones were at least 5 years in the making. The list I have of other potentials is down to 3. I think in the next month that list will be down to 2.

Well, it is snowing again in Albuquerque! We are currently on a 3hr delay at work and I would be suprised if that got extended. Cross your fingers that I can just play hookyy all day.

Update:

UNM didn’t close. I grabbed some breakfast at the the Fron-J and headed into work. Been here a little over an hour and they have announced UNM will close at 3pm.
