You didn't tell which house and if they try to find it they will damn sure get lost in that maze of streets. Hell, I get lost and I know where it is. |

I concede that BBQ here in Indiana is probably not up to Southern standards, but just want to note that meat has gotten damn expensive. We ate last night at a chain place, Smokey Bones with my son and his wife. About ten years ago my son was kitchen manager at one of their local franchises. At that time a full rack of baby back ribs was $19.99. Last night it was $32.99.
I know, first world problem. At least Vienna sausage is still affordable, and it is available in BBQ.

I have been buying a thick slice of bone-in ham steak from my local meat market lately, costs about $7 and I can eat off of it for a week in sandwiches, eggs, etc. |

Good morning. I enjoyed a great movie STANDBY. I will smile with somebody. Almost vertical. Not yet. Enjoy your day. Peace.
A review STANDBY....
Dublin shines just as brightly as Mad Men's Jessica Paré in this charming romantic comedy about regaining lost love and finding something to do in town on Valentine's Day.
Unlucky in love Alan (Gleeson) is stunned when old flame Alice walks up to the tourist desk at Dublin Airport, where he works.
Alice is waiting for a flight out of town but has nowhere to stay, so Alan invites her to come and stay with him and his divorcee dad (Stanley Townsend, who almost steals the show as a sort of boozy greek chorus alongside his pals).
Alan and Alice go for a night out in Dublin that turns in to a bit of an odyssey, taking in a wedding, a nightclub, singing on stage together and an all-night party... but the question always remains, will they rekindle their relationship?
There's a little bit of everyman Alan in us all, and he and Paré make a fine on-screen romantic duo.
But the real star here is Dublin, a vibey, warmly glowing place full of friendly characters and good times.
A sweet little movie that will have you rooting for the leads and stay with you once they've moved on.

I'm going to defrost the freezer then go for a bike ride. Here's some deft guitar. Tom Sands makes very nifty instruments He is taking orders for 2026 completion. Two slots open. The man is busy. I noticed that. I'm tempted but can't really justify it to myself. ETA - Unusual Wordle for me today. Wordle 412 3/6*

I would love to still be looking for instruments but, boringly, I am satisfied with the ones I have.

That was a great result in Wordle, James. A lot better than mine. (The answer should have been my fourth guess, dammit.)

A lovely evening down by Wellman, IA. We are at the "Pizza on the farm" concert with Chad Elliott performing along with Kathryn S. Fox accompanying him on fiddle.
It's a really nice setup 8n the country with a beautiful view. Stone wall pizza looks great (can't have any tonight) a cash bar and a soft serve ice cream stand.
If you're in the area on a Friday night, look this place up.

Heading up Nort across the Cheddar Curtain for a fun weekend with friends who moved up dere. Have fun, all, and be safe. Where in Sconnie will you be? Stevens Point. A retired educator friend is building a house up there. His wife is a native SP daughter. They met @ UW/SP decades ago. Lived in Chicago suburbs for 40 years. |
