Birthday Dinners

I had a great evening. I had dinner with friends for my birthday, which was actually on October 23rd, at Maggiano's Little Italy. Joining me for the fun was: hollyqueen, jenk, dustin_00, walbourn, jz1776, beaq, datavore, dianthus and loree. I listed everyone in the order they sat around the table. Wasn't I lucky? I had almost all the hawt chixors at my end. Next year I'll have to woo beaq more to get her to my side.

The evening started with some sucky traffic and parking aggravation but I am minor diety of parking so I found a spot right next to the elevator. After that things went great. We sat down. Made our dinner selections and ate far too much food. The one problem I have with Maggiano's is that they are far too noisy for lots of conversation. But we talked ate and drank. Thank you all for coming and having dinner with me.

After dinner walbourn, loree, hollyqueen and I went to see The Prestige which is a damn fine movie. Good acting, a good story and lots of things that I like in a movie. There have been very few movies that kept me guessing about what was happening until the end. This was one of them.

Tesla?

After watching The Prestige last night I would like to read more about Nikola Tesla. The problem is there are lots of books out there and I’m sure there are a lot of crappy ones. Does anyone have some recommended books about Tesla and his works?

Thanks!
