Dinner in the 70′s

Our next door neighbor gave us a gift certificate to Brandon’s Ritz Terrace so we decided to use it tonight. It’s only three or four blocks from the house but we’ve never been there. This place has been there a long time and seen a lot of changes in the neighborhood. Dinner was good and the inside of the restaurant was exactly what you’d expect after several remodels over the years. What was cool was the 1950′s tile foyer. You walk in the glass door into a small room then up two steps into another glass door with no landing. The entire floor and both steps were covered with 1950′s one by one tile. Inside in the corner was a white piano being played by a man dressed for the 1970′s, sport coat and all with 1970′s hair backing up that look. Backing him up on the piano was a cool synthesizer heavy on drums and lite on style. It was fairly crowded but I think we were close to being the youngest except for a couple of kids.

Eating My Black and White Cookie

My black and white cookie.

I was listening to the radio this morning before they played the new Britney Spears song but before I changed the station. They suggested that Britney was back and just as good as ever. In other words, she sucks.

Lots of flickr

Except for the ride home, which was excruciating at times, we had a
great vacation. Casey loved the beach as much as her pops do. Ate a LOT of good southern food. Road trips via the sea. Lots and lots and lots of friends and family. Best donuts ever. Beautiful sunsets. And lots of hot guys, no pictures, I guess I was
good.

So this is what it looks like in the light. We stopped at this rest area on I-287 in Jersey. The sign said “Building Closed” but the rest area was open. It was completely dark in the thick of night surrounded by trees. It was time for Casey to go so we got out but left our lights on. There were several guys in cars sitting there in the
dark. Sorry we disturbed your business guys. I had to pee so I whipped it out beside an unlit light pole and  we got out as fast as possible.

Showering

It’s about 95 degrees and me and the Casey needed some cooling down, so
we both took cold showers, in our own way. After being so sweet in the
hose, she decided to be evil and steal my philly steak off the table
when I headed to the kitchen for some ketchup. I thought I could eat
fast.

Coffee Cup Charlotte

Somebody stole the coffee cup sign, I wish I had it. I wish I could eat there again. I
want some good soul food.

Say on your lunch break it was such a beautiful day, much like the whole week has been, you decided to grab a burger and just ride around and take it all in. Say you were so enjoying yourself with said burger while riding around, you didn’t notice that you were dropping mayonnaise all over yourself, especially in the area of, say your crotch. Say, before heading back to work that you remembered you needed a little $2.99 calculator so you stopped by Target to get one. And say you still didn’t notice you had several large glumps of mayonnaise on your crotch. I’d say you may just be a little embarrassed. Let’s just say…

We just got back from Delmonico’s Steakhouse, supposedly the best steak in the region. I think they may be right and it’s not a “I have a stick up my ass kind of place”. One of my friends gave us a gift certificate so we thought we should take advantage of it. I think we may have to go back.

One of my friends is moving and when he told me, for some reason, I thought I was going to cry. Pretty gay, ehh? People come and go through your life. Some don’t matter, some do.

Love that chicken at Popeye’s.

1 in 99 people in this country are in jail. 1 in 36 Latinos are in jail. 1 in 15 black folk are in jail. It’s all so ashamed.

Cooked dinner two nights in a row

I actually cooked dinner two nights in a row, healthy last night, not so tonight. I do love me some fried squash and I cook it better than my mom. But come on, it’s not too hard to cook better than my mom. She’s better with other things.

About two years ago, they stopped making cameras. Polaroid now plans to stop making the film for said cameras. Between the film and flashes, (remember a ten flash cartridge before they were built on the camera) it was quite expensive but really fun.

Karl Rove has joined The Fox News Channel as a contributor. I think I’m going to vomit…just another reason not to watch Fox News.

Tomorrow is Super Tuesday…exciting…

I went to a new dentist today. He is awesome…he’s funny, he plays music, he has weird pictures on the ceiling, he has crazy posters on the walls, strange actions figures on the shelves, his x-rays feed right into his computer so they pop right up in front of you, he talks to you…I now have a great doctor and a great dentist.

Fried Squash...yummy tasty

Over the longest while, I’ve noticed something very strange about myself. –Warning: Too much information may follow– When I go to the bathroom, (number 2) I yawn. Uncontrollable yawns. So much yawning, water pours out of my eyes where I can even read. Before I start, no yawning. After I’m done, no yawning. One of the many strange things about myself.
