My biggest weakness/vice is ice cream. Not the best thing for you, but hey – that’s why it’s a vice
Saturday I discovered one of the best ice cream places I’ve been to yet:
York Castle Ice cream in Washington, DC.
They don’t seem to have a webpage, but there’s some information here and here.

I went specifically for the Guinness ice cream, and it was really good. Then I had the Mango and it was even better! To top it off we got pints of mango, banana and passion fruit to go so we could enjoy them during half-time over a game of Liverpool. The crowd favorite was the passion fruit flavor which was very fresh with a nice citrus flavor coupled with a very creamy texture.
I’ll definitely be going back!

In other (possibly related) news, I picked up a pair of Brooks Beast running shoes yesterday. Ran 2 1/2 miles in them this morning and they felt great. Excellent way to start working off all that ice cream yesterday.

Well I’m making slow strides, literally. After giving my knee a break for many weeks, I’m easing back into running, accompanied with LOTS of stretching. I’m starting out on the treadmill which is pretty boring but I’m up to 3 miles. When I get to 5 comfortably then I’ll start road running again. I’m just about due for a new pair of running shoes, and I think I’m going back to Brooks. My Saucony Stabils are just a little too stiff for me. They leave my ankles and shins a little sore, but my New Balance 1221s don’t provide enough support for over-pronation.

Went to the Baltimore Comic Convention today and was able to meet the guys from Penny Arcade!

Went to a GREAT party in Frederick last night. Made up for having to work all day on a Saturday
Pics are here.
The party was held by FUSS which apparently stands for Frederick Underground Something Something, or so my friend said.
They even had flame jugglers or whatever they’re called, which was awesome, but then the dance floor was really slippery afterwards. Made for some interesting dance moves
