First Week of November

A few snapshots of the first week of November...

When I was on the other side shopping for the last odds and ends for my Han Solo Halloween costume, I picked up a comic book tee in the men's department at Old Navy.  I took it home and cut it up:

The day after Halloween, Bryan and I got lunch at Longhi's.  I had been dying for some of their delish pasta bolognese.  While we were waiting for our food to come down from the kitchen, we snacked on their signature pizza bread and got seduced into ordering mimosas.  Longhi's makes the best mimosas with freshly squeezed orange juice.  Our bartender hooked us up and gave us monster drinks in wine glasses instead of champagne flutes.  It's good to be a repeat customer.

I went to the amazing Doctors on Call at the Hyatt on Sunday to refill prescriptions.  My doctor has an interesting collection of monkeys pinned to his wall:

My housemate Alexa hooked me up with homemade borscht (aka beet soup).  I had some with some organic arugula tossed on top.

Yesterday on my day off, I did an afternoon solo snorkel sesh at my favorite beach.  It had been awhile since I've been in the water, and it was nice to spy on all my fishy friends again.  I ran into a small honu (turtle) and a spotted eagle ray too.  Epic.

When I was done swimming, I got out and let the sun dry the salt water off me while I finished reading my book.

When I came home from the beach, the most handsome hound dog was waiting for me with his stuffed bunny.

My girlfriend Shaina and I went out for lunch this afternoon at one of my favorite spots, Pineapple Grill.

I got the corned beef brisket sandwich:

And the pineapple upside down cake for dessert:

It's a perfect overcast day, so I'm going to snuggle up with my new book: The Keep by Jennifer Egan.  How's your week been so far?
