Twenty Seven
Last Tuesday I turned Twenty Seven. Even though the week has been more than busy, it didn't interfere with me having a nice chill birthday. I ended up working in Washington DC for most of the day. Relay, Foxy Paul and myself went to "Bone Fish" for an amazing meal. It was very relaxed and nice. Lately, I think because of work, too many people is too much. I recommend the Mahi Mahi! You will pay a little more going there but it could serve as a nice date location, very classy. Afterwards, we headed over to "Outback Steakhouse" for a drink and chatted. Fun conversations for sure.
So I was asked, "So how does it feel, being 27"? Honestly, it's another day. I mean, I do think I'm starting to get older, but it's not mid-life crisis time yet. :-) No need for the sports car yet! I tend to feel younger at work and older around my friends. So it's a good mix. But again, I see it as another number.
During the long week I have had three tremendous meals. Mostly all of them paid for, so even better! During one of the meals on Wednesday, I ate at the "Capital Grille" in Washington DC. This place had to be one of the most classiest places that I have step foot in. The food was ridiculous. The appetizers alone were seventy-five dollars a piece and the average plate was fifty dollars. I had an amazing fourteen ounce filet mignon and tons of other food accessories. As soon as you put down a fork or knife a new replacement was there without any notice of the servers. It was almost ninja-esk.
So today, tomorrow, and days ahead I will tell those who ask this new age. Hopefully, those conversations lead to some meaningful and relational building opportunities.
Father, I thank You for such a blessed year and rejoice over what You have provided. You offer so much, when we have little. I thank You for another year, and am excited to see what You have in store for me in the next. You are my Lord, my Father, and my Life. With that I pray in Your holy name, Jesus Christ. -Amen

DOOD! I ate there 2 weeks ago (the Captial Grill)... it was INSANE! The absolute BEST steak I've ever eaten. And yes... it's ridiculous. Glad someone else can vouch that though I am Mr. Superlative, that place is tops! ;)
