TOD - for carry out fried chicken we’re partial to Lee’s Famous Recipe, a chain that was founded in Lima, OH.  They have locations in 13 states (and British Columbia) and they’re mostly in Ohio and Kentucky.  I prefer their boneless strips with potato salad and green beans for sides.

In British Columbia? Well that was exciting till I found they’re all out on Vancouver Island.

ROAD TRIP!! ;D

And SEA!!

I should have waited to see if you responded.


But not waiting helped add a post for the page totals!  :)

An aide politely told one student that 6, 7 was so last year. It shut the kid up for 3 or 4 minutes.

I have seen three Jim Jarmusch movies on the big screen. And I think it's the best way to see them.

Father Mother Sister Brother is a painful comedy about those families that are not close, that have nothing to say to each other, that can't wait to leave each other's company. The Mother scene with Charlotte Rampling and Cate Blanchette is my family to a T. (Or team if you saw the scene.)

It makes the Sister Brother sequence all the more touching. Their grief is real, so is the love they share.

Finished a fun one today: The Haunted Hotel, by Wilkie Collins. It’s based on real events.

DR singdaw I have been meaning to ask you how all of your new hires are doing?

They are doing pretty well and are all independent now. But there are dependability/attendance issues. That seems to be the way with young folks nowadays.

I haven't been out unplanned in over 8 years.

That's quite a crowd, given your recent movie-going history.

Old fashioned corkscrew, electric, or something else?
