Sunny morning… even if it’s cold.

Yesterday’s quest to find food – ostensibly before the coupled masses descended upon every restaurant known to man – was something of an adventure. We wound up driving through a good portion of Sandy, Murray, Midvale and Fort Union before we decided to head to Bohemian Brewery. It was a little crowded, but there wasn’t a three-hour wait like at Outback. And, unlike Outback, I was able to have a tasty, microbrewed Cherny Bock.

There was a brief trip to a local B&N, and then it was off to 2-D Physics. : Congrats, you won again this week (161-123-125-168). Something that I don’t grok: Bringing your date – in a formal dress/gown – to the bowling alley. Yet, I’ve seen it more times than I can recall. We were also treated to the “Strippers-in-Training,” as Jess called them, two lanes over. The only thing missing was a pole. On the other hand, we saw a quality mullet. So, things balanced out. Post-bowling breakfast wasn’t bad… until two or three groups of people showed up and one of their members decided to sing. Loudly. Off-Key. *twitch* Then she started into a speech/toast/rambling thing. We left.

Stray Toasters

  • As if the icon wasn’t a give-away, it’s pretty well-known that I am a Star Trek fan. Especially DS9 and Capt. Benjamin Sisko. And, as noted here, Trials and Tribble-ations is my favorite episode of the series. With that said…

    …have just been added to my “Things That I Covet” list. And I still think that they should sell “The Trouble with Tribbles” and “Trials and Tribble-ations” together as a set.

  • is my candidate for canonization.
  • There’s a James Bond book/movie titled Diamonds Are Forever. From this article, one could infer that God not only has a sense of humor, but that he is a Bond fan, as well. I wonder if He thinks that Connery was the best James Bond…?
  • Conjunction Junction, what’s your function…?
    : I have the 4-CD set of all of the Schoolhouse Rock songs. Would Fiona be interested in them… or would that be enough to drive you over the edge?

  • I have been getting rid of the stacks (yes, stacks) of old magazines that I have accumulated over the past few years. As I was going through an old Utne Reader, I came across ads for Save-A-Cup Recycling Company and ReMarkable – a pair of environmentally-friendly companies. I like the ReMarkable concept.
  • Hardcastle?
    McCormick?
    Chief?
    McCloud!
    (For those of you who didn’t see the last line of that as red text, I’ll take this opportunity to say how disappointed I am that IE6 doesn’t seem to like in-line CSS and praise the fact that Mozilla does.)

Time to find something to do…

Namaste.
