Glad that’s over.\u00a0 Now there’s a phrase you don’t hear every Monday morning;\u00a0 Unless you were oncall over the weekend.\u00a0 Ehhh, it wasn’t bad though, I squeezed in my share of entertainment.\u00a0 I kicked things off Friday afternoon down at the Brooksider.\u00a0 I had fully intended to just ride the bus straight home and settle in for some movies, but when I stepped out into the 50-degree weather I figured I had better take advantage of the situation.\u00a0 I procured a nice cigar and proceeded to spend a few hours on the patio with the boys.\u00a0 After that we decided to head out for a little dinner.\u00a0 Our first choice was Chelly’s<\/a>, which we don’t go to very often but always enjoy when we do.\u00a0 When we stepped in the front door and found a wait for a table we bailed out though.\u00a0 Second choice, on a snap decision, was the new Papa Rico’s restaurant across the street.\u00a0 It’s been through several different restaurants over the last several years;\u00a0 It seems to be one of those buildings that just don’t do well no matter what they put in it.\u00a0 My dinner was pretty good, I think I liked mine better than Donette did hers.\u00a0 I think the thing that threw us off most was their oddly liberal use of chili powder.\u00a0 Everything was just doused in it.\u00a0 You could smell it when the plates hit the table.\u00a0 At any rate it was good food, we’ll give it another try.\u00a0 We’ll most likely try their breakfast next time though;\u00a0 I don’t think the dinner was good enough to unseat any of our “regular” spots.<\/p>\n

Saturday we passed the afternoon without any notable excitement, then decided to go out on a “date night” for the evening.\u00a0 We decided on the movies, which is certainly a rare occasion, as we can almost never find a movie that we agree on.\u00a0 As it happened though, I wanted to see “True Grit,” and she is on a mission to see all the movies that are Oscar nominated, so we picked that one.\u00a0 We found a 7:00 showing down at the Main Street AMC, and took a limo (a.k.a. city bus) down there around 6:00.\u00a0 That gave us plenty of time to get settled in, grab a bite to eat, and get ready for the show.\u00a0 Good movie, all in all.\u00a0 I watched the original earlier in the day so I’d have a fresh comparison in my mind, and I can’t go so far as to agree with all the assessments that the new one is better.\u00a0 It was entertaining though, and I always enjoy that theater if nothing else.<\/p>\n

Sunday, well, let’s just pretend it never happened.\u00a0 Which, in a sense, it never did.\u00a0 I couldn’t quite get into first gear.\u00a0 I suppose I never should have turned on the TV, that’s always a bad decision.\u00a0 But I did, and ended up watching back-to-back-to-back terrible movies all day long, intermingled with news and uninteresting sporting events.\u00a0 I was moderately looking forward to the Pro Bowl, as I wanted to see all the Chiefs players in it.\u00a0 As it turned out, even the worst low-budget crappy movie available on Netflix provided more entertainment than that game.\u00a0 I didn’t even make it through ten minutes, it was just too boring to watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
