Man that game stunk.\u00a0 Actually it wasn’t that bad of a game…\u00a0 but KC lost, which in my limited scope of football analysis means “it stunk.”\u00a0 Unfortunately my despair over the defeat seems to\u00a0 have carried over into today, rendering me unable to post a good, solid update.\u00a0 Or it could just be a basic lack of interest.<\/p>\n
We actually had a pretty busy weekend.\u00a0 I had the day off on Friday, so I trekked out south and visited Mom for the afternoon.\u00a0 Had a good lunch in lovely uptown Peculiar at their swanky new coffee shop and checked out all the pictures from her recent cruise.\u00a0 After all that driving I had to nap for a while, and then we headed down for a few hours at the Brooksider. \u00a0 Remarkable, but true.\u00a0 After chatting with everyone for a while, I drove Donette and Susan down to some restaurant down on Southwest Blvd for their “girl’s night.”\u00a0 The name of the restaurant escapes me now, but since I wasn’t there I don’t guess it’s that important anyway.\u00a0 I know they had “tapas” for dinner, which for some reason rates one as of my top ten annoying words.\u00a0 Try to remember that should you ever get the urge to ask me out for “tapas.”\u00a0 Maybe that works in Johnson County, where people think using an annoying word will actually make the food taste better.\u00a0 I can do without “tapas,” or “little plates” or any other trendy term.\u00a0 “Appetizers” will suit me just fine.<\/p>\n
Saturday I spent the greater part of the afternoon working on a friend’s PC.\u00a0 Wow… virus-ridden mess.\u00a0 Never did get his email working but at least it quit randomly dialing 900 #’s, which is a good thing.\u00a0\u00a0 For our evening entertainment we went to a “garage party” at a friend’s house.\u00a0 This guy does a show on a local radio station, The Blues Kitchen<\/a>, so he was able to hook up some awesome blues talent for the party.\u00a0 Add to that some good barbecue and a solid crowd, and it made for quite a party.\u00a0 The Martins came out with us, and we actually stayed for like 5 hours, which is at least 3 good hours past my usual attention span.\u00a0 There was some good “people watching” entertainment to be had also… I can’t even begin to explain some of the characters, so I won’t bother trying.\u00a0 Words wouldn’t do justice; definitely required a camera.<\/p>\n Sunday… well, you know, football and television.\u00a0 Since my fantasy football outlook has improved considerably as of late, I find myself actually half-interested in a lot of the games.\u00a0 I went down to the ‘Sider and watched the noon games with the usual crowd, and then headed home and watched the 3:00’s on my couch with my laptop.\u00a0 After all that lethargy, the Martins came over again (they just can’t stay out of Midtown) and we went to Susan’s for a tasty shrimp dinner.\u00a0 Her and John stir-fried a bunch of shrimp in some scallions, garlic, and a rather prodigious dose of chili-garlic paste.\u00a0 Quite tasty, in a my-mouth-is-on-fire kind of way.\u00a0 Nothing a big bowl of vanilla ice cream didn’t fix up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Man that game stunk.\u00a0 Actually it wasn’t that bad of a game…\u00a0 but KC lost, which in my limited scope of football analysis means “it stunk.”\u00a0 Unfortunately my despair over the defeat seems to\u00a0 have carried over into today, rendering me unable to post a good, solid update.\u00a0 Or it could just be a basic […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
