Imagine a movie or a book where the main character lives his entire life one whole day behind everybody else in the world. Call it: Dude,<\/em> That is soo Yesterday<\/em>. Consider the weirdness if this were you. Your friends are talking early one morning recalling the gruesome horror of the previous afternoon and you’ve not witnessed it yet. Or they ask you how your day’s going and you reply, “Just ducky. It’s a beautiful Sunday isn’t it!” And they’re like, “Uh, dude, like it’s Monday with sideways rain?”<\/p>\n

Or your wife calls you early one morning to wish you Happy Anniversary.<\/p>\n

Oops.<\/p>\n

Really, I know our anniversary is June 3rd — seriously! — but when I woke this morning I thought it was June 2nd.<\/p>\n

Such a movie would probably work best as a chick flick, or possibly a vampire trilogy where you’re the only one in the world who’s immune from the bite and so your quest is to save others, except your problem is you lack credibility. People don’t want to know what has<\/em> happened, they already know the past, they want to know the future. Oh well, surely a talented storyteller could make the plot compelling somehow.<\/p>\n

Late last week Happy Wife and I enjoyed dinner at the Crow’s Nest,<\/a> a fancy schmancy restaurant on the top floor of the Captain Cook Hotel. It felt like an anniversary celebration. Why Crow’s Nest and not Raven’s Nest I can’t imagine, given the Raven is an infinitely more fascinating bird than a common crow. Anyhoo, we went there because I had recently redeemed 10,000 points on my OpenTable account for a $100 dinner cheque, and we reasoned that spending it on expensive food would maximize the value somehow.<\/p>\n

Happy Wife had the New Zealand Elk in some cherry-infused something or other:<\/p>\n

BIGGER<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While I opted for the Alaskan Black Cod w\/gnocchi and chorizo:<\/p>\n

BIGGER<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Paired with a scrumptious bottle of Antinori Pian delle Vigne<\/a> (2007).<\/p>\n
