Stay-cation Week IV
by Steve West on August 14, 2008
Brenda had a minor medical procedure today so we dropped the girls at Grandma's house for the majority of the day. Got through the procedure and had a nice lunch (just the two of us) at a local restaurant. I had a steak sandwich that was very tasty except it was served on ciabatta bread. While the bread was fresh and had a wonderful aroma, it was chewy. I don't like chewy bread as a sandwich option although it's quite nice as a companion roll. The harder you bite to get through the bread the more likely the contents of your sandwich will escape the other side. And it was loaded with pickle, onion, lettuce, tomato and roasted plantain slices with chipotle mayo. And the appetizer was pulled pork raviolis that were pan-fried and served with a spicy barbecue dipping sauce. Yummy.
Came home and Brenda and I took a well deserved nap for an hour. She was recovering from her mild trauma of her doctor visit while I'm still recovering from yesterday (Ha!). Picked up the girls, lost a few games of Rock Block and now am taking the girls to Vacation Bible School which they've been doing all week along with everything else. Been a great stay-cation so far with Hershey Park on the horizon.

Christmas Post #10: SNL Parody Inspires Product
I don't know if the SNL commercial parody for a product called "Ass Don't Smell" inspired the inventors of this product but the connection in my mind cracks me up. Meeting all of your body odor needs. I couldn't find the original sketch but here's a parody of the parody, I think. Go »Let's Hope The Dog Doesn't Like To Chew On Stuff
The baby's a little fussy - I know, let's give her Mom's ashes. Talk about a niche market. I expect some may find this adorable and clever, I just find it creepy. Go »Turn Left At Alpha Centauri
So you've been abducted by aliens. How on Earth (literally) are you going to get back home? Fortunately, you are a forward thinker; a planner; an "any room I enter I have an escape route" thinker. Go »Anger Management
When you occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to take it out on someone, don’t take it out on someone you know, take it out on someone you don’t know, but you know deserves it. I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call I’d forgotten to make. I found the number and dialed it. Go »The Long and Winding Road
I've led my life with few regrets but those few have been big ones. I've posted a bit about my divorce but not about the reasons behind it. I'm not going to now either but I will say that Betsy deserved better at that time. Go »
