The first thing I usually do when I get up in the morning is check Weather Underground<\/a> and see how much misery I’m in for.\u00a0 Helps me know how many dozens of layers to put on for the march to the bus stop.\u00a0 This morning, the first thing that caught my eye was the phrase “Today is forecast to be much warmer<\/strong> than yesterday.”\u00a0 Well that’s just great.\u00a0 The predicted high is sixteen freaking degrees.\u00a0 I suppose when you really get down to it though, that is “much warmer” than yesterday.\u00a0 Dang near twice as warm as a matter of fact.\u00a0 I’m no meteorologist but I think “Not quite as brutally cold as yesterday” would have been a more accurate summary though.\u00a0 Maybe I’ll email them my input, I expect they would be about as receptive to my wonderful ideas as the KC Transit people were.<\/p>\n

Last night Donette called me on my long, slow, boring, noisy ride home and suggested meeting at 75th Street for dinner.\u00a0 Sounded good to me, so I stayed on the bus all the way into Waldo and walked down there.\u00a0 (“All the way” being a grand total of four more blocks.)\u00a0 As I think I mentioned, we decided to start using up our “points” we’ve saved up there.\u00a0 I seriously think we have enough to eat there once a week for the rest of the year, so we might as well get started on it.\u00a0 While we were waiting for our dinner to come out, we played several rounds of our favorite video game, photo hunt.\u00a0 You know, where they put up two pictures and you try and find the differences between them?\u00a0 I think it’s more geared towards 6 year old kids, but for whatever reason we enjoy it.\u00a0 I have to say, last night we totally killed that thing too.\u00a0 We were ON<\/strong>.\u00a0 My idea of a “good round” is getting into the six-figure score range, usually topping out around 103,000 or so;\u00a0 Last night we were consistently over 600,000.\u00a0 We even hit high score on the machine, not once but twice.\u00a0 Oh yeah.\u00a0 I am considering flying out to Vegas and seeing if there is any money to be made as a photo hunt pro.\u00a0 Yes, I think the winter boredom is kicking in pretty hard.\u00a0 For dinner we had a tasty mushroom and cheese pizza.\u00a0 I was enjoying it thoroughly, then the manager came out and apologized for it being “over done” and took it off our bill.\u00a0 Tasted fine to me, I don’t think I even would have noticed.\u00a0 But hey, I’m not going to complain about a free meal, although it didn’t help much in our quest to use up our points…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
