Smokey Joe’s

We went to a play last week – Smokey Joe’s Café.  We really enjoyed it.  If you’re a lover of oldies music, it should be high on your wanna go list. 

It is a review featuring 42 oldies songs woven very loosely into a story.  And I’ve got to tell you, it was wonderful. 

I still have a couple of songs floating around in my head
– at this moment – T.W. Washburn. 

Football - Cowboys, etc.

HOW ‘BOUT THEM COWBOYS???

How ‘bout them Eagles??

Superbowl!!!!!

Why Blog?  Got me.

I work all day in front of a computer, and still, when I get home, I like to turn on my pc and check on my favorite bloggers.  It helps me to unwind, relax and enjoy my evening.

The biggest problem with this method of relaxation is that sometimes I sit here longer than I planned.  Computers are such time robbers!

Thanks Guys

Short thought

Most overpaid – sports figures and CEOs.  Where’s the justice in that??

New Computer Desk

Now that I have this great new scanner, I need more space for all my pc stuff.  So, we’ve been shopping for a new computer desk. 

We only have 48 inches of space where the desk will go in our living room, so it’s a challenge.  We did find a nice one with a hutch (lots of storage space) and I think we’re going to order it next week. 

It looks great and seems to be functional.  Sometimes they can fool you with that “functional” word.

Tip of the day – girls only

When someone tells you you have a run in your panty hose, and you already know it, you should say, “I DO? (with great concern in your voice)” and immediately look down and inspect the wrong leg (the one without the run).

Fools them every time.

Radish, anyone?

Here it is - a kind of grey Sunday morning, and Don is off playing tennis.  So, true to form, I found myself in the kitchen.

I think this recipe is really good, and I don’t usually like radishes.  After the salad marinates a while, the radishes become kind of white, and the liquid becomes kind of pink.  Very pretty.

Pickled Radishes

2 cups (8 oz) sliced radishes (about one of those small bags)
1 small onion, cut into thin wedges and separated
1/2 cup white vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar)
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
cut radishes with slicing blade or food processor. Combine with onion. In separate bowl mix vinegar, sugar and salt until sugar is dissolved. Pour over radish mixture. cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours before serving.

Beer - the new health food

And I Quote:

According to the Great Lakes Brewing News, beer is good for your health.

Researchers in the Netherlands report that middle-aged men who drink three or four glasses of beer with dinner each day have lowered the risk of inflammation of arteries, which can lead to heart disease.

Meanwhile, German scientists claim that beer containing higher levels of xanthohumol, a potent antioxidant, can help fight against cancer.

Anyone want to claim to be a middle-aged man? 

Tex and John

I ran across this picture of Tex Ritter (John’s dad), and thought father and son look a lot alike.  Tex was my favorite cowboy.  And John has been very funny and entertaining for a long time.

I understand there’s another of the Ritter men who would like to be an actor.
Comments anyone?
