Two!

[ChasSmith]

Today I am back with the stepsisters. Where DOES the time go?

[John G.]

I don’t like many fast food burgers anymore. The quality of the meat isn’t what it used to be. I’ll occasionally have a green chili cheeseburger from the Whataburger drive-thru or, in Louisville, sliders from White Castle. But I prefer a burger from a dit-down mom-and-pop place.

I shouldn’t eat fries or onion rings because of the carbs, but I do occasionally. McDonald’s still has great fries, White Castle has pretty solid onion rings.

Glass slipper vibes for ChasSmith.

DR JohnG just reminded me about White Castle!  When I lived in Indianapolis (1979-1984), I was thrilled to find a White Castle within a reasonable distance from my apartment.

Many a Saturday night, late, I would stop there and buy 10 White Castle burgers, onion chips and a chocolate shake.  I would drive home, turn on the TV for the evening's horror flick and partake of my bounty.

[ChasSmith]

I will take this opportunity to decry the loss of true battered, deep fried onion rings. Yes, they still exist, but you've got to know where to order them and where not to. They used to be the rule, now they're the exception. Some of the best onion rings of my life were regularly eaten at the lunch counter of a downtown drug store when I was in my teens.

Ten! That's admirable, DR Ron Pulliam. Sometimes when visiting Cincinnati, I would stop at the White Castle next door to the Best Western and take a bag of six, plus one order of fries and a large Coke, to my room and do likewise. But ten? Yes, I could probably do a good job on ten if I were hungry enough. I just haven't thought to try it. They do make great car food, though, on those road trips. Oh hell, make it a dozen.

I see BK is on the deck.

Good travels, sir!

We had White Castle slider eating contests in high school. I think the winner in my grade consumed 21 in 15 minutes.

My nephew Herman is getting better, but the UK music program has had some crazy setbacks since his fall. One music prof has stepped down because of pancreatic cancer. A student and member of the wind symphony suffered three strokes in the last few days.

DR ChasSmith:  In actuality, I always had a few White Castles left over.  They'd be my brunch appetizer the next morning.

Amen! All the places providing me with burgers seem to rely on the same frozen foods onion rings.

I love White Castle burgers! When I worked at Peaches Recrds in the 1970s, the store was down the street from a White Castle, which I loved and the Peaches employees called "White Death."

She and Freddie Mercury were great friends.

Chris Rock is coming to the Majestic. Wonder if he’ll have anything to talk about.

I am not in OLIVER! which is a good thing.  I will miss being in the show, but that means I have the next few weeks off from DRIVING and can audition for a small part in CLUE ONSTAGE before diving into JOSEPH again.

So to speak.

I wasn't able to attend Deb's opening night, but I sent her a gift.

Ha!

I'm up, I'm up - barely - maybe six hours of sleep, maybe four, who knows - so annoying.

Thanks for the flight vibes and xylophones - more, please, for a safe and on time flight going and returning.

SAFE AND EASY TRAVEL VIBES FOR BRUCE, AND A FUN TIME AT THE EVENT!

[Ginny]

Tuesday afternoon greetings!  We were up early to meet my sister and her husband for breakfast and see them off to Michigan.  They are so-o-o-o ready to be home.  They'd originally planned to stay here 2 nights so Nancy and I could have a sisters' day today, but the weather tomorrow is supposed to be awful, both here and in Michigan.  Today is a much better day for driving, so we've postponed girl time until next month.

While we were enjoying breakfast at Bob Evans, our handyman was on our garage roof painting the cupola and weathervane.

A Bob Evans breakfast. Brings back fond memories. Sausage and Cream gravy with lots of black pepper over biscuits.

[John G.]

Lots of love. Losts more carbs.

[John G.]

Onward!
