I often stopped at Stan's on my way to work at the Bruin to get an Orange Julius for breakfast. Often it was all the money I had for food that day and I truly appreciated his stand.

Columbia's Steakhouse in Lexington, Ky., opened in the late 1940s and was always the hangout for Wildcats fans before or after games. Since we would never actually go to a game, we were always assured of a good table if we went during the game. Yes, they had steaks, and they were fairly affordable, too, even to a someone on a student's budget. But it was the burger that really shone at this place. It was large and meaty, probably a half pound long before that became popular, and it arrived with a heaping stack of steak fries, which were made even better when drizzled with A-1 on them.

I loved that place and am glad to find out it's still open. My sister still lives in Lexington, but she never mentions it. I wonder if it's still good.

I hope former DR Sandra's "wisdom tooth extraction" hasn't made her forget about Cherry Cokes and Underpants!

The DD is not feeling well today. Probably something he picked up in a walk and ingested quicker than I could stop him. I'm sure it will pass soon.

I hope he feels better before bedtime.

It started this morning at 2:00am, glad he woke me up to take him out. He's good at that

Bruce thank you for sharing your photos from the Kiru. You may not be able to scan an ashtray but you can photograph it

They playing cards are cool. I wonder why a very regular customer never too home a pack for his children. I think I usually had a hamburger & fries. I always ordered a Shirley Temple which never failed to arrive with extra cherries.

The Kiru had the best cherries anywhere. I used to eat them by the fistful.

Yesterday I looked for photos of Wan-Q's & Kowloon for DR MBarnum and couldn't find any of the buildings. I remember the inside of both were very nice.

LOL They were good. I had about a fistful every time, not that my fist was very big back then. I think it was because I was my father's daughter unless they were that generous with all their customers.

I was very surprised to see the unused payroll check from Pacific Ocean Park.

In 1950s and '60s Detroit, my family didn't eat out much, but when we did it was often at Sno-White.

And I am finally home. I need to pack a repair kit of tape, scissors, pens, ruler, and music paper tonight to ship to Dublin with the cartons tomorrow. I got hung up waiting for my colleagues to repair that Finale glitch so I could finish binding the full score I'm shipping as well. I haven't eaten sicn around 10 this morning. about 9 hours ago, so I need some dinner.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #132 on:** June 25, 2013, 04:19:40 PM »

DR Elmore, do you use Finale yourself, or do you have others to do that?

It's not that I have any compelling reason to know it or be good at it, but I've wanted to kind of learn my way around it, anyway, so I took them up on a recent two-day offer to purchase the 2012 edition for $99 -- some serious relief from the $600 sticker price and even the educator price of $350. I've just started looking at a few of the tutorials.

For years and years, every time I went to Portland Oregon for a visit i had to go to my favorite Chisese Restaurant. Sadly, it is no longer in business.

Annnnd the turntable is finally fixed. Got an old Julio Iglesias album on, I just love it. I picked up 10 albums on clearance, a few Dan Fogelberg's, some random stuff, no cast recordings. I think the t-shirt of the store that repaired the turntable that I purchased cost more than the albums themselves. I just love records.

As a small child, our family had one favorite place to go for hamburgers I have posted this photo before, but oh well:

I saw a bee stuck in a cobweb at the top of my conservatory this morning. A spider was crawling towards it but I managed to rescue the bee and send it outside.

Was the bee yelling, "Help me!"

DR Ginny I've been planning to make a citrus bundt flower cake for my book group next month. I keep thinking your blueberry pie with the graham cracker crust might be a nice summer treat instead. When you get a chance may I please have the recipe?

Well, no marriage equality ruling from the Supreme Court today.

According to all the blogs tomorrow will be the day. It's the last day of the term and unless they hold it off until next term (which will not happen) it will be tomorrow.

I've heard the same things in my legal blogs, Ben. Tomorrow

I've discovered I have underlings for that. I have it on my home and office computer, but it's mostly for opening and downloading files, and I rely on my colleagues who are Finale virtuosi for everything.

There are still a few Orange Juilus' in some of the malls around here. But I can tell you that they are nothing like the original.

Yes, I tried one of those a year or two ago, and it was a complete waste. Nothing at all like the original drink.

Orange Julius is now at Dairy Queen. Haven't had one in years

I've never had an Orange Julius at the local Dairy Queen. It's been there since last year, but I just haven't been interested. Diet Pepsi (with free refills

) is my drink of choice.
