It looks like NBC is getting into the game with their new Treasure Hunters show. They have created a Treasure Hunters Challenge site that you can play to enhance the experience. While not as immense in scope as The Hanso Foundation, it's still not bad (and you may win money). What's more is that it seems to have some end in site, while The Lost Experience seems almost never-ending.
Last night, the Carolina Hurricanes whipped up on the Edmonton Oilers in game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals to bring North Carolina its first major league trophy of any kind. Of course, there are those who would argue that hockey isn't really a major league sport, and you are entitled to your opinion.
Even though I was feeling great today, my headaches came back in the evening, so I took a couple of pills before getting into bed to help me fall asleep a little better.
For the first time in quite a while I seem to have no headaches whatsoever. It's actually quite a nice feeling. I also finished off the antibiotics this morning and had the best night's sleep in recent memory (nearly six hours). Perhaps I've had a lingering infection for a while and it only recently flared up. I've also noticed a bit of blood when I blow my nose, so I'll have to keep an eye on that.
Hidden around the back of some other buildings in the Cotswald section of Charlotte, this is truly one of the better finds in the area. Every time I have been to the restaurant I've walked away full and happy - and typically with leftovers. The staff is quick to serve and friendly, but the servers don't waste much time. They know their stuff, so feel free to ask them what they recommend, but take their advice and go rather than thinking about it.
The antibiotics that I took earlier seem to be helping. My nose is clearing up nicely and there doesn't seem to be much pain left (in my nasal passages, I mean). Can't quite get to sleep though, and my head is bothering me a bit, so I took some Acetaminophen of the "PM" variety (includes Diphenhydramine).
Update: That worked well. Good night's sleep. First time in a few days. I needed that.
Well, the good news is the nasal congestion has cleared up and I can breathe again. The bad news is that my left nasal cavity is really starting to hurt and I don't think I've slept much for the past two nights because of it. Going to the doctor today.
Update: Doctor prescribed some azithromycin (z-pak) antibiotics. Take 2 today, then 1 each the next four days. Hopefully that will clear things up.
This nasal congestion appears to be causing me a headache. Since I couldn't really sleep, trying some Ibuprofen to see if it will help at all.
While I'm not always a fan of your chain restaurants, this is one of the exceptions. Perhaps it's that I'm not a fan of the places that seem like chain restaurants, and the Cracker Barrel is just different. Sure, that sounds good.
Highly unusual in that it is indeed a chain, but the experience isn't what you'll find at a typical chain restaurant. The food served is done so family style, meaning you'll get heaping plates full and you will share them with those around you. At least, that's the intention. Whether you do so or not is entirely up to you. The food is generally good enough that you may not want to do so.
Back in the day there weren't too many options for ice cream. Now that seems to be changing, but instead of pre-packed options they are all of the 'roll your own' variety. It's like everyone and their brother is getting into the business. This is our favorite, however.
My nose started running. Thus far, I haven't been able to catch it. It seems like the more I blow, the more it keeps running. So far it's all clear, which hopefully means that it's just allergies, but I'll keep an eye on it.
