Welcome John and Jeanne!

Thanks, Vixmom. How're you doing?

I would like to have to go bowling for work! Was it fun?

I did end up buying three beautiful fat pork chops like two inches thick on sale. It cost less than $5 for all three and I planned to cook them for dinner

Then Vixdad came home with a hankering for Five Guys

Wow! That's really cheap.

And on our way to five guys his hankering turned to a California pizza kitchen craving

vixmom · « **Reply #126 on:** March 04, 2016, 08:59:18 PM »

So we ended up at CPK where I had a 1/2 Thai chicken pizza and 1/2 wild mushroom pizza

So Vixdad's hankerings can be rather flighty.

Thank you for the vibes. I was really sore the first day after the root canal but slept fine last night and the pain was gone today

Sure. I'm terrible at it. I was last in my first game and first in my second game. So, I don't really know what I'm doing, but I bowled four strikes in the second game.

Went to Gelson's and got some salad with veggies and drowned it in red wine vinegar, so no calories at all. I'd netted out at 600 today after the jog, so got some shrimp cocktail shrimp and this humungous bunch of lettuce and stuff.

Actually, the best part might have been that you can't bowl with out some liquid help, so that was deemed OK for this outing, as long as you worked from home the rest of the day.

I didn't actually have anything, but a co-worker had a mai-tai. It looked terrible. Beer is probably the best bet at a bowling alley.

Pat Conroy has died.

I really enjoyed his books. But I hadn't read a word of his when I met him. I had only seen the movies, Prince of Tides and Great Santini. He was coming to Sarasota for a books and author conference, and his one stipulation was that his interviewer had to have read something of his. I guess he was tired of the "Where do you get your ideas from?" and "Is your work autobiographical?" and "What do you think of Barbra Streisand?" I mean, the interviewer didn't even have to have liked Conroy's books; he just had to have read something by the man.

So, someone else interviewed him, and Conroy came to the office that day for a sit-down talk. He went around and spoke with everyone for a minute or two and was as nice as could be. That, probably more than anything, was what got me started reading him. And now I've read all of his books, even his cookbook.

But don't you read everybody's cookbook?

John G. · « **Reply #143 on:** March 04, 2016, 09:17:49 PM »

I wonder if we'll ever get to read his sequel to Gone With the Wind, which Margaret Mitchell's family nixed because Conroy saw one of the characters, Scarlett's brother, I think, as being gay. Apparently, there are no gay Southerners.

A couple of years ago my boss threw a party for us at a local bowling alley. It is huge. And it had two private party room each with 8 or 10 lanes So we were in the private bowling alley with a Buffett set up and waitress service with an open bar.... It was a fun night
