Yesterday was filled with doing a whole lot of nothing. It was exquisite!
We started off the day at 10ish, went to eat dim sum, after which we sent off Ricky, who's responsible for the new site, to the airport. We then plopped ourselves on the couch and watched a few episodes of "Bones," "Dollhouse," and "Hell's Kitchen." All we did in between was get groceries and nuke some leftovers from last night's trip to The Cheesecake Factory.
I wish I could tell you more, but that's about it. Luckily we have three press trips planned this week, so there should be some interesting stuff coming up.

Sorry about the late update, but we had some friends over for dinner, and after a long week and tiring week, a nap turned into a full night's sleep. At least our steak and fries were enjoyed by all. :)
We'll have to save some of the news posting for later today because we are going to the museum to check out the
King Tut exhibit. Better put on comfy shoes!
Last night was the premiere of the new Stargate Universe series, which we didn't catch because of the dinner party, but hopefully the DVR did its duty so we can check it out tonight. Really looking forward to the series. We love Stargate, so this better not disappoint.
