Despite continued refusal to operate at full capacity my lungs and the rest of my body completed a couple of runs today, sandwiched around a mostly unscintillating day at NHS. I want to know what makes certain kids think that they can completely disregard an authority figures and argue and interrupt while I try to impose some small level of diligence upon them. I can't imagine a scenario where I would have talked shit to a teacher or substitute in a similar circumstance so I'm just trying to understand if anything has really changed with the youth of today. Oh and cell phones are everywhere in school and they think it prudent to utilize them as often as possible. Add that to the list of things that makes me despise that infernal invention all the more.
On a different note, my family headed up to Tom and Jerry's on 23rd St. last night for my mum's B-day. It was a pretty good place (I sadly had to keep the wine to a minimum), but interestingly empty all night. This is an upscale spot but by non means an undertaking. The restaurant does a variety of food and wine tastings and other events which I know a well-recieved. My point here is to say that this is just another example of people too often making the mistake of eating at the safe, commercial joints that and miss out on much better and more exciting fare. I had paella and a solid fried artichoke appetizer. The place had a Pinot from New Mexico, but sadly I was unable to sample. It can't be as good as the booze at Tres Suenos.
