Yesterday through this weekend, plus digital tolls.

Yesterday my wife and I went to the Olive Garden to celebrate our 11 month anniversary. While the food and service was excellent, I threw it back up later that night, so we may not be going back there for our 1-year anniversary next month.

Today was a nice day of relaxation. I played in an 888 Magic draft online (got a really nice black-blue flying deck, snagged some nice rares too, but lost in the first round), we had a leisurely breakfast of sausage and English muffins, and we went grocery shopping.

Earlier this week, I ordered a transponder from EZ-Pass New York for automatic toll-collection on the Mass. Pike and the New York State Thruway. I’d been contemplating it for a while, but it seemed like I didn’t use the toll roads enough to really make it worth while. This past weekend, I went into Boston twice for the Fifth Dawn prerelease, and on one of the trips I gave my money to the collector and left, forgetting to get my change back. I decided that I’ll probably be going East into Boston a few times a year (for the prereleases, and possibly judging other major Magic events, and miscellaneous other things), and be going West a couple times a year (for visiting Jessi’s extended family), so it was probably worth it to get a transponder. I got it from New York instead of Massachusetts because New York gives out the transponders for free, while Massachusetts does not. And since we will be using the New York Thruway occasionally, I feel quite justified in doing so. The transponder arrived yesterday and I applied it on my car today, although I have no immediate plans to use a toll road to test it.

Tonight, we’ll be attending ‘s birthday party at ‘s place. We will be bringing food made.

Tomorrow, we will be going to Church and then to a Memorial Day party at my brother’s fianceĆ©’s family’s place. We will be bringing food made.

Monday, we will be going to my grandma’s house for a Memorial Day party. We may be bringing food made.
