I can’t deal with four more years of Willie. I seriously think I may just stay drunk all weekend. This morning I got up at 9 and did a shot of Tuaca. That’s a vanilla-flavored cognac that my friend Kevin turned me on to. Kevin used to be my bartender at Sleep Out Louie’s.<\/p>\n
A couple of Downtown-related articles in today’s CA:<\/p>\n
– Food critic Fredric Koeppel reviewed The Flying Fish today.<\/a> I like the Fish. I wouldn’t rate it as the best seafood restaurant Downtown – that’d be Pearl’s Oyster House – but the Fish’s food is good and I love the decor. Look for my Billy Bass on the wall if you go in (it’s on the bottom row). Glad Koeppel mentioned the fish tacos, which are one of the items I’ve been meaning to try but haven’t gotten around to yet.<\/p>\n I wonder if Koeppel had a ghost writer though… the Fish review seemed a lot different from his usual style. It was entertaining, witty and fun to read. After all these years he’s finally learning how to connect with his audience.<\/p>\n – There’s also an article on the effort to clean up Uptown.<\/a> Leaders are focusing on blight removal, tearing down dilapidated buildings, and helping the poor and elderly make the repairs they need so that their homes don’t become blighted.<\/p>\n That’s all for now… I’m going to take my laptop to the Saucer and work from there, so there may well be more blogging to come this afternoon. Good Lord I’m in a foul mood today. I think I’ll have another shot of Tuaca before I head up there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I can’t deal with four more years of Willie.
