I just come here for the novelty coffee mugs and their trenchant commentary on the little ironies of everyday life.

took my elderly parishioner to lunch  today  at a local diner where I was surprised and pleased to find "Irish Breakfast"  on the menu. 

So, channeling my Inner Elmore in Dublin ,  I was very happy to tuck into eggs over easy, 2 Irish sausages, three slices of Irish bacon,  2 pieces of black pudding and a broiled tomato -  also rye toast and  orange marmalade

Nobody ever mentions the Cybill Shepherd remake of "The Lady Vanishes" with Elliott Gould. Her impersonation of Adolph Hitler during her dance routine is a classic.

Back from a very nice dinner and a trip to an old-fashioned cocktail lounge.

then I came home and sold my  1995 station Taurus wagon to my friend.  She was in need of a cheap car and I was in need of disposing of the station wagon before the next insurance payment and reregistration became due.  At my urging she took the car to her trusted mechanic for his blessing before I would let her buy it

I kept waiting to see "Irish whiskey" next on the list...

I had the Irish whiskey tonight, ChasSmith. Kilbeggan. Nice. Not too heavy for 102 degree weather.

Vixmom, the big breakfast sounds wonderful. But you left out the baked beans. Were there baked beans?

there were no baked beans,  grilled mushrooms or HP sauce so it wasn't perfect   but it was pretty good!

DR Ginny, I am looking at the November dates first and will try to make it work.  There is a possibility but it depends on getting one of the two cases resolved...something I've been trying to accomplish for months

I understand.

Thanks, I really would love to go when you are there, though, so let's see what happens

I'm here, but about to go up to bed.  I'm going to try to get more sleep tonight.  Need to get up early enough to figure out what I'm going to wear, lol.

For me, Fall has always been the start of a new year.   I always loved it when school started and I got new school clothes.  And we moved back home from the lake.  I loved living on the lake, but there were no kids around my age at all so I was always glad to get back to school and back to my friends.  Of course that was umpteen years ago, lol.  Even so, school started here so I feel like it's a fresh start. I love that feeling

By the way it's the 30th Birthday of DNs Jon and David.  That means I started law school 30 years ago.  The two events aren't related, I just remember they were born the year I started law school near where they lived at the time. I went over on weekends to help out.

DR Samantha is expecting her next son in October.  That's another part of the reason I'm not sure when I'm going to try to travel.  Of course most of the women in the family thing I'm irrelevant when it comes to babies since I haven't had one, but I just ignore that attitude

Had some of my home made strawberry ice cream tonight.  It was very tasty.  I have about one serving left.

It was a good weekend, but quick.  That retail therapy felt really good.  I went out Friday night and listened to some music with some friends.  Two acoustic guitar players - both very good.  The rest of the weekend was just working around the house.

Actually the best thing about the weekend was that I stayed home.  I've already been to see my parents twice this month.  Mom wanted me to go up again until I reminded her she's seen a lot of me this month

Had a great noir on tonight, Murder by Contract, which had an excellent score. Didn't care for the rushed, overly moralistic ending, but the rest was surprisingly good.

Thanks! DN Jon went to NYC with me and met a number of DRs.  I'm pretty sure that was before you joined us, John G
