Dinner & a Movie

Since we knew more snow was on the way today, last night I took a gal to dinner and then to the movies. She wanted to see Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief that just came out in the theaters on Friday. We went to the Olive Garden and had a good meal and a few glasses of some good wine before heading to the movies. I had no idea that the movies were going to be so crowded, we ended up having a hard time finding two seats together and ended up having to sit in the second row, which is hard on my eyes and my neck. But it was a good movie, my date was happy and for the most part the evening was a success.

Big Mac Wrap

I’ve seen commercials on the TV for the last couple of weeks for the new Big Mac Wrap, which sounds like a nice change for McDonald’s. Today I stopped at one of our local McDonald’s and wanted to try one out only to find out that our McDonald’s hasn’t started serving them as of yet. What a bummer. Guess I’ll just have to keep stopping by until they catch up with the rest of the world.

Online Yellowpages

Every Christmas, for as long as I can remember, my parents have put on a spectacular feast for the whole family at their residence. This year my mother has had her plate full with health issues and other commitments and she is getting a bit frustrated with the whole holiday situation, I’m getting a bit worried about her, so I’m going to try and convince her to hold the festivities at one of the local restaurants so that she doesn’t have to stress out so much in the next week or so.

It is a task much simpler to tackle with the use of the Internet, I can do a local search and come up with good reliable information in a matter of minutes. Gone are the days that we need to use our local yellowpages (the paper version) to find what we need in order to suite our needs. Local.com is one of the better one stop shopping sites that I have used in the past and once again I’ve found them to be a tremendous help in finding a restaurant that would accommodate as many people as we have planned on coming on Christmas.

At Local.com you can businesses, driving directions, hours of operation, addresses, contact info, as well as reviews that are written by people that have used their service. I like that I could add any opinions that I might have as well although I doubt that I would unless I had a real issue with something or if I received service over and beyond what I had expected. Guess we will see how it plays out.

Two Lessons

A lawyer boarded an airplane in New Orleans with a box of frozen crabs and asked a blond stewardess to take care of them for him.

She took the box and promised to put it in the crew’s refrigerator.

He advised her that he was holding her personally responsible for them staying frozen mentioning in a very haughty manner that he was a lawyer, and proceeded to rant at her about what would happen if she let them thaw out.

Needless to say, she was annoyed by his behavior.

 Shortly before landing in New York she used the intercom to announce to the entire cabin, “Would the gentleman who gave me the crabs in New Orleans, please raise your hand?”

Not one hand went up … So she took them home and ate them.

Two lessons here:

1. Lawyers aren’t as smart as they think they are.

2. Blonds aren’t as dumb as most folks think.
