Wee recommended this place at 13th & Ellsworth after he saw my tweet / Facebook status update about eating at Taqueria Veracruzana. After hanging out today at the park, John, Helmut, & I decided to try it out. Franco & Luigi's Pastaria was the other choice, but Mexican won out over Italian. It was the right choice!

When I first woke up today, the sun was out, people on twitter were all a-flutter about how bright it was outside. Yes, I check my email and twitterstream on my iPod Touch before I get out of bed.

By the time I got out of bed, got ready for work, and made it out the door, it had started snowing. This was NOT expected. The snow kept getting heavier, the flakes larger, the wind stronger. As I walked down the alley to work, I was holding up one of those large blue Ikea bags to shield me from being pummeled by the force of the wind throwing these huge clumps of snow at me.

This evening, my coworker Svenja pointed out the unusual sunset. We've got a great view from the 6th floor (5th floor as Germans count it) and every once in a while the sky cooperates.
