   Met with a friend at Cappy's. Huge ass giant big wait. The old Greek dude who owns the joint is finally giving us some love after years of going there. He gave us a booth with only a 10 minute wait. He made a big deal of it like, "Shhh...don't tell nobody." Split a stack of pancakes. It was off today. Shoulda gone with the egg whites. Went to my friends house and hopped on the bikes, just the two of us. It was pretty early but the boardwalk was already packed. You think that a bikini or whatever the hell they're called these days has run out of ways to show off more skin. But the new style is to have the material rise up off the ass, revealing more cheek the…

    I don't get all the hate for this movie. It wasn't the greatest movie. But overall it was an enjoyable one. I did not like the original score put in when it was. Thought maybe it was best saved for the end of the movie. But for a western, it told a story well.

    Borrowing the gameplan from the LA Archdiocese: "The 6,000 pages of documents related to eight decades of abuse cases showed in great detail the Milwaukee archdiocese regularly reassigned priests who were accused of sexual molestation to new parishes and Dolan himself asking the Vatican permission to transfer $57 million to a trust fund to protect it against court action." http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/02/us-usa-milwaukee-church-idUSBRE96103M20130702

    Today is the 150th anniversary of picketts charge and the end of the battle of Gettysburg. Lots of interesting things on the web for those of you who are interested. Gettysburg is cited as the turning point of the civil war, and Lees last best chance at defeating the Union army. His army suffered devastating losses and was never able to recover from it. Today also marks the 150th anniversary of the Union victory at Vicksburg.

    Another LA institution has announced it is closing as of Sunday. Great job by the new owners, remodel, raise prices, reduce portion size and within months you are out of business. Some things are what they are and shouldnt try to be more than it is. Hopefully Angelenos will step in and save this property. It is one of the few places that pours an acceptable Guiness and serves traditional Irish dishes done well.

    About two months ago, my friend Stan gave me a no name cheap-o barbeque. Our mutual friend, Dave the Dentist had been after me to get a barbeque for my backyard so we could cook like men. (Translation: He wanted me to get a bbq so he could come over, get hammered and blast some tunes. And barbeque.) And that’s exactly what we did on Friday, late afternoon. I assembled the barbeque a few weeks back and flirted with breaking it in myself, even going so far as buying charcoal on a solemn Sunday two weeks ago. I pitched the idea of barbequing to Dave via text Friday...it was warm and I didn’t want to spend the evening by myself, even though I kind of wanted…

Well, it can if it’s the third date with the man of your dreams. And, if it makes his eyes burn.

I was trying to lose a few pounds so I was staying away from carbs. That’s when I met my husband, Rob. On our first date, he booked the next two. He liked me. I liked him.
