We were going to the olive garden last night, but their parking lot was packed, and the steak house next door didn't look at all busy. So we changed track and made a right instead of a left and wound up having a nice meal in an un-busy place. And the reason that they were un-busy on a Sunday night? Their prices were about $5 a steak more than the other places in town. I guess everyone knew that but us, people were staying away in droves. But the steak (Karen had the salmon) was very good, and we had left-overs tonight. We got sweet potatos instead of regular baked ones, and I really liked that. I think that more and more steak plaes are offering this alternative. I did get up on time today, and I was at work in plenty of time. I didn't have to go in until 08:00, supposed to get off at 16:30 but, as usual, we ran out of work and I got really bored, so I left at 16:00... I've gotta Getting ready for the trip tomorrow, it's gonna be fun getting on the road, and then getting to learn some new stuff.... Karen and I drove up to Minneapolis a coupla years ago, and it was a nice but very boring drive... I think that we took nine or ten hours getting there, not in a hurry... this time I'll make it in eight, I think. I'm driving the truck, mostly so I can play my ipod, the converter doesn't work in the car, both of the outlets are on the blink and have been since the boys and I drove to Maryland. Tomorrow I'm going in at 07:00, I've got an appointment with my cardiologist at 15:30. And I'm gonna get to bed now.
we csn't even see beyond
the smoke and mirrors
