  • The Man From Laramie

    ,

    Wow, they just don’t make movies like The Man From Laramie any more. For one thing, nobody likes movies that corny now. For another, there’s no Technicolor. I really miss Technicolor. The university puts on a show that’s open to the public and free, courtesy of the film studies program. I think we went to Read.

  • Lunch

    Spaghetti for lunch today, same as yesterday and the day before. And Wednesday night. And Tuesday night. My Darling B made an everlasting batch of spaghetti on Tuesday, or as close to everlasting as you can get on the human scale of time. There’s still a huge frozen chunk of leftover sauce and forty-two dozen Read.

  • Oishii desu!

    ,

    It’s not like Madison needs another restaurant, but we’re pretty happy that Umami opened on Willy Street anyway. We stopped there for dinner after work today and each slurped up a bowl of ramen the likes of which we’ve not enjoyed since we left Japan almost six years ago. We’ve tried ramen at a few Read.

  • Never A Dull Moment

    ,

    We dined out twice today! First at the Dane County Farmer’s Market, because the breakfast they were serving was biscuits and gravy, and when you say “biscuits and gravy” you’re going to get a visit from My Darling B, and you’d better have a plate of hot biscuits and gravy waiting for her. She adores Read.

  • Hot Stuff

    There are just two microwave ovens in the break room at work, and maybe two-dozen people, but unfortunately they all want to nuke their food at the same time. And we’ve only got forty-five minutes for lunch. Just one microwave was humming when I walked in yesterday. Popping the door on the one that wasn’t Read.

  • Cheese Farts

    I have stinky cheese farts right now that would make your eyes water more copiously than a fresh-cut Vidalia onion. Today’s big event was a visit to the Madison Food and Wine Show. It’s about what it sounds like, except that they don’t just show you food and wine, they let you eat the food Read.

  • What I Did On My Day Off

    It’s Furlough Monday! Time to stay at home and do something frivolous. Or not so frivolous, if you’re the guy in charge of keeping the bathroom clean and you sort of let it slide for a couple weeks. Yuk. I made a project out of it by driving down to the store to buy a Read.

  • We All Have Our Hobbies

    My Darling B took the day off from work today to spend it at the annual quilting expo that comes to the convention center. She was there when the doors opened at eight and didn’t come home until almost two o’clock this afternoon. She was exhausted. The place was jammed with silver-haired women who spent Read.
