Same, except he and my grandfather had a few Miller High Life ponies in there too.
There are still so many old line neighborhood Creole Italian places in the metro area with devoted, though aging, clientele. I just don't see them pulling that much business away from established restaurants of that kind, even if they "modernize" the food.

Wife was supposed to go to book club tonight. I was looking forward to pizza dinner alone and a history documentary. But she felt ill today and cancelled her plans, so I will be getting her chicken soup instead. :banghead:

Brash young basketball coach pushes the limits of legal recruiting and is fired for it; only to see the league adopt his tactics and return to the same school years later, seemingly in triumph but still bearing the stigma of a cheater.

You'll have about 150,000 less billionaires as U.S. citizens once you enact a wealth tax like this.

I need new music


Get a Sirius XM subscription or download and explore alt radio on Pandora. There is a lot of great new music out there. I like the North Americana channel on XM. Will drive your wife crazy though.

60 yr old women
I have one and get compliments on it all the time bc it looks much better than an average smart watch. If you leave the display on and set it to a watch face that looks more traditional, a lot of people don't realize it's a smart watch.
I stayed in Kotor for a week. My view the whole trip was the Bay of Kotor, marred only by passing cruise ships, lol. The town was magical at night after the cruise people left.

When I am a bit older and my decline in mobility supersedes my disdain of cruises, I'll likely go Viking.

Going in the fall with some college buddies, including three who are local. We are staying in Louisville and going to Woodford Reserve and Castle & Key. Will likely throw in another. Also going to Keeneland for a day at the races. Dinner at Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse.

I like to pack as light as possible, because I usually have to carry all my wife's stuff too.
Had some this morning with everything bagel seasoning sprinkled on top. I like Daisy 2%. I actually like the curd texture.

I need to wear them to a 2 star Michelin with a blazer and slacks but also be able to wear them with shorts as I walk around a European city. And not annoy my insertional achilles tendonitis do they need to be supportive.

Travel Shoe

Posted by vistajay on 3/23/26 at 3:52 pm
Looking for a well cushioned brown leather mens shoe that can be worn all day sightseeing (often in shorts) when traveling and then also be worn to dinner with slacks at a nice restaurant. Am partial to Rockport due to fit and comfort but also looking at Ecco Track 25. Any other suggestions?

I picked up the blue last week. It is a bit darker than it looks on the internet but still nice. I tried on the stripe and while it looked better than I thought it would, I could not get over the big white space on the back.

Safta's Table is really excellent. Went there last week and had lamb hummus and chicken schnitzel. If you are dead set to stay by UNO, Yummy Pho and Fried Chicken near the Rouses is a silly name but decent Vietnamese food.
