  “Home?” I asked My Darling B before I put the car in drive to pull away from the curb in front of the office last night. “No. Alchemy. We’re eating out tonight,” she answered, naming our favorite after-work restaurant. It was that kind of a day for her, too, then. Read.

  Becky and John joined us for our weekly night-out at Alchemy. My Darling B works with Becky at the DMV and about a month ago invited her and her husband, John, to join us for dinner at Smokey’s the last time we went there. Ever since then we’ve been trying to get together again. Our Read.

  After the Mayan apocalypse brought the end of the universe some time late last night, I woke up this morning curled up around My Darling B. I always hoped that, if there was a heaven, it would be something like this. I had to work yesterday but, when quitting time was drawing near, I shot Read.

  I had no plan for dinner last night and no idea what I could have scrounged up from the pantry even if I’d come up with a plan at the last minute. I couldn’t even suggest a place to go eat when My Darling B posed the customary Thursday night question, “What’s for dinner?” I Read.

  I took My Darling B to dinner at Alchemy because it’s Thursday, which means it’s Guy Night and I’m responsible for serving dinner, but it’s way too hot to cook on the grill, the only way I can cook an edible dinner, so I took her to Alchemy, same as I always do. They were Read.

  I drove in to work today instead of riding my bike. The weather forecast called for high winds this afternoon and evening, and I hate biking against a headwind more than I hate biking through the rain, so I gave it a miss. Still left work at four-thirty, though. This being Thursday, it’s customary for Read.

  Madison Craft Beer Week is going to kick off a pre-party at our favorite neighborhood tavern, Alchemy Cafe featuring some scarce beers that we rarely get in this neck of the woods. Much as we’d like to be there, the party starts at 9:30. We’ll be fast asleep by 9:30 because we’re old and our Read.

  I ate the tastiest meatball sandwich for dinner last night. We swung by the Alchemy Cafe because it was Thursday, and on Thursday nights I’m in charge of coming up with the dinner, so I usually come up with the suggestion to stop at Alchemy. We have yet to be disappointed by anything we’ve eaten Read.

  I have the teensie-weansiest little headachette this morning, just a little pressure at my temples that makes my eyelids squeak when I blink them, as if they’re on rusty hinges. I’m sure it’ll go away after a cup of coffee. This is definitely not the fault of the beer I drank during our tour of Read.
