Our Recent Evenings

So, from the infrequency of our blogging you can probably tell that we're back at work and well in the midst of things.

This week has been rather dull but nice just the same.

Our friend, Larry, loaned us the first season of the TV show Monk on DVD. I'd heard of it before but never had the chance to watch it, and I have to say that I am hooked. Tony Shaloub does a great job playing Monk, a former detective with obsessive-compulsive disorder and who also just happens to be a genius. It's such a quirky show, and rather clever so I've been enjoying my evenings with some red wine in front of the boob-tube with Mr. Monk.

In past news, we've been meaning to mention that Brian and I are now reduced to one bicycle each; Brian sold his GT Dhi on the Yahoo Japan Auction about two weeks ago (you can view the expired auction here). The selling of our final downhill bike truly marks the end of an era now – no more weekends at Fujimi Panorama, no more getting geared up to tackle the challenges of the B-Course...But we're definitely plenty happy with our 29ers, and neither of us much like having gears anymore, so we were not too sorry to see the bike go.

Monk is great. Unfortunately it is unavailable in Canada since moving off of a major network and onto the USA network. Shaloub plays the OCD stuff so well you almost believe he is really like that.
