The World is a Sadder Place today.....

Bea Arthur passed away at 86.

I remember laughing at her comedic style when she appeared on my red neck buddy Archie Bunker's show, and later on Maude, and Golden Girls. God bless you, Bea.

Craigslist

Yesterday, I put my laptop on Craigslist in order to sell it. I put it at a decent price, and ten minutes after the ad came out, I had two emails wanting it, and sold it to one of the persons that wrote. I never realized Craigslist was so popular. Beats the hell out of as far as I am concerned, if you want to get results quickly, although I do like eBay. I buy from them quite often.

Happy 35th Birthday!

Today is my daughter Jackie's 35th birthday. Jackie is the snaggle toothed little cutie on my shoulder with her brother, Matthew. Their sister, Mary, is in the foreground. Now Jackie has a husband and four handsome sons of her own. Happy Birthday, Sweetie, I wish you many, many, more.

URP!

Yesterday, my friends Pat and Russell took pity on me because I had been abandoned by my wife, who went with her Red Hat Group to visit her mother in the town she lives in about 40 miles from us.
They took me to eat at a Texas Roadhouse Restaurant.
This was the first time I had ever eaten in one, and it was a really pleasurable experience. I had filet mignon, baked sweet potato with all the fattening stuff....marshmallows, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon....and green beans. Prior to eating, we had an onion blossom. It was by far the best one I ever ate. Delicious.
The steaks are cut each day, and there is a refrigerated display case as you walk in showing the different steaks available.
They also have a bucket of peanuts on the table to nibble on while you are waiting for your meal. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to enjoy them for reasons I won't go into here. :)
We had a fine young waiter named Patrick, who did a great job taking care of us.
All in all, a fine meal and a good time. I highly recommend the Texas Roadhouse Restaurants to you if there is one near you.
After reading this, Marsha said I ate better than she did, and is now pouting until I take her to the Texas Roadhouse. :)
