fantastic day

got up and made Mrs. 8 french toast, read the paper

walked around chinatown, taking in the Year of the Ox festival, plus special H/T to Samurai noodle for the best Ramen in town

power nap

dinner at Matts in the Market: fois gras, pistachio encrusted seared sea scallops, paired with this funny anais flavored french red from the Loir (not the Loire) region with a peppery finish (chateau Belliviare, i think).

then the symphony--for an evening of russian crowdpleasers: Boronin, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, but by the 3rd act the Lagavulin with dinner was kicking in so we left.

awesome day.
