I had lunch at Marigold Kitchen today, a restaurant just off capitol square. They have a sign hanging in the dining room that appears to be made up of old wood-block type in three or four different fonts, and this theme is carried over to the signs on the doors of the bathrooms, a sans… Read.

Contagion
I took in a matinee showing of Contagion with My Darling B this morning, which was a little weird. Not that the movie itself was weird, watching it at ten o’clock in the morning was. Movies ought to be watched at night, don’t you think? We do, but for reasons we can’t quite put our… Read.

My Darling B and I went to see Paula Poundstone at the Barrymore Theater last night and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. But my, how that woman can talk! When she came out on the stage at five minutes after eight I joked to B that I hoped she would tack at least five more minutes on… Read.

(The title of the web site is apparently a quote from a movie I’m not familiar with but will almost certainly have to find and watch now.) I linked… Read.

My Darling B lucked out big time last night: she didn’t have to prepare a special dinner for our anniversary. Thursday night is guy night, so I put my awesomely manly talents to good use, fired up my trusty Weber grill, and burned some burgers for our celebratory meal. We had some sweet corn in… Read.

After we got our Wednesdays sorted out from our Tuesdays, My Darling B and I went into town after work on the evening that the Madison Homebrewers and Tasters Guild should have been meeting at the Memorial Union on the campus of the University of Wisconsin. Trouble was, we didn’t know what any of them… Read.

Listening to Car Talk on the radio this morning, we heard the story of a guy who stuffed an athletic sock down the intake manifold of his car to avoid dropping anything down there while he was working on it and then, of course, he forgot the sock was in there and put the engine… Read.
