This morning it was finally time to deal with the flat tire. I looked in the phone book and found a tire shop at 455 Union, about half a mile from my parking garage. At that point I had a decision to make – put the spare tire on the car (which I’ve never done in my life, and don’t know how to) or just drive with the flat tire and hope it makes it? Of course, I chose the option which required the least possible effort – driving on the flat. Luckily the car got there. It was one of the scariest drives of my life though.
The Majestic was PACKED for brunch yesterday – apparently everyone decided to go there after Easter services. I tried one of their Easter specials, the lamb with new potatoes, asparagus and sugar glazed carrots. Lamb is one of those dishes that can come out either really good or really awful. The Majestic’s was really good – the way they cooked it really brought out the flavor, and the sides complemented the lamb well. The portion was so big that I couldn’t finish it, although the Nuh-Uh Girl was happy to step in and assist. Even though the place was busy, we (the brunch crew) were unusually quiet, mainly because our show-tune-singing diva was absent.
After brunch we walked into the Saucer the very MINUTE it opened – 4 on the dot – and hung out there for a few hours, then some of us went to McGuinness. And that was about it… just another Sunday.
Kicked some ass at pool this weekend… I’ve gotten pretty good over the past year. Need to find my pool mentor Kenny (from the 1990s Six-1-Six pool room) and play a few games with him, to see if I’ve made it to his level yet. I also threw some darts this weekend, and discovered that not only am I not improving, but I’m actually getting worse.
It’s the day after Easter, so candy is on sale. Think I’ll run by Walgreens before my lunch break ends. Maybe I’ll pick up a large bag of pastel-colored Cadbury milk-chocolate Mini Eggs to try and tempt my favorite blogger to come downtown and hang out. There’s a good chance I’ll eat them myself before she does though.
Pint Nite at the Saucer tonight. I should be there around 6.
Geez… this was a boring post… I need to start posting drunk again.
