A big ol' Texas roach crawled across the floor of the Brazos County Courthouse during our civil wedding ceremony in 1987, true story. My then bride, now ex, got a case of the giggles.

Lol, I saw that. Damnitalltohell!!! Next time when we are wandering around wondering where to go, that can be the answer, "White Castle"!!!!
I also didn't get to Freddy's Steakburgers either which is one of my favorite places on earth to eat at. If you have not been to Freddy's, do yourself a favor and give it a try. Wonderful burgers, fries and the Frozen Custard is Fantastic!

So I gambled and lost.

About a year ago I made the switch from peanut butter to almond butter and am very happy with that choice. But last week I decided to try something new again. Sunflower seed butter. Bleeeech!!!!!! I like sunflower seeds but one taste of the butter and I had to throw it away.

Ya live ya learn.

I love peanut butter. I haven't eaten much this month because my wife is making almond butter (which is also great).

About the same here, but in the wrong direction.

Last night while waiting for my daughter and granddaughter, I was sitting alone in a restaurant, head down, wearing a black fedora and black leather jacket. My daughter sees me and says, "I'm sure a few people just breathed a sigh of relief when we walked in. You look like the opening scene of a Tarrantino film. You know, the guy who stands up and starts shooting."

More and more, I'm convinced I raised that one right.

Yeah, it's 42. Of course it's 42. Either that or jaundice.

That's precious John. I'm jealous. And yes, you raised her right. Kudos.

* by the way, I have a great leather jacket myself that I purchase years ago when in I was in Taipei. It is Italian made. Very cool, and it radiates an aura of silent badness, so it keeps the plebs at bay and gives instant respect from the easily swayed. Works wonders. I plan on wearing it a lot when I visit New York. Understated coolness is the way to go. Of course I need to get a fedora. Either that or a homburg.

Culvers was my #1 favorite before Freddy's and honestly they might just be neck and neck. Culvers is really good. Actually Culvers has excellent Cheese Curds so they might have to be in front.

Same here in SE MT. I will take the swing that way any day.

I've been thinking about your post about your mother. Poignant and beautiful!

That's a bit extreme. Especially since I have no plans to continue on.

Thanks, R*R. The prospect sort of scares me, but perhaps she knew better.
