So my friend Steve is in town from San Diego. I haven't seen him in something like 5 years. We went to high school together in good old Bakersfield, CA. He's in town for a conference. We went out to dinner last night. I tried to give him a taste of what the Boston I enjoy is like. We headed over to B-Side Lounge for dinner and drinks, then went to the Boylston Street area where we had a drink at McCarthy's so he could check out the eye candy (it wasn't really happening last night), then went to my current favorite bar, Bukowski's, for a nice beer. They have a cask-conditioned ale every week. This week it was a Red Ale, don't recall the name, very smooth though...

Battlestar Galatica is on!!!

As an aside, I keep watching shows that for look to me like they are all commenting on the state of our nation, a la King George. A lot of the "Do what's good for the people even if it means breaking laws" kind of plots. Maybe I'm just reading into things here....
