I have reached an interesting age. As most of you probably saw, Chuck Barris died at 87 yesterday. Now there's two responses to that - aw and 'who the hell is Chuck Barris?'. Which given that he was 87 is a fair response. Twenty years ago if someone 87 passed away, I would have had the same question. Who was that? OH, that one guy from that one thing. Just interesting that's all.
Here's another interesting thing - B and I were talking last night and we realized that since leaving Facebook, no one talks to us any more. No seriously. We don't get emails or hangouts or texts from 90% of the people we know. There are still those few who check in on us, but for the most part, not on Facebook, don't exist. Fucking shame is what it is. Shows you who your real friends are. In her case, like two people died in her family (no one close or important) but no one bothered to even tell her. "Oh, we posted it on Facebook.". Listen you lazy fucktards, how about some direct human interaction?
We had our fancy dinner last night. $175. Talk about getting it right at the budget line. We had rabbit garganelli, beets, caesar salad, fried chicken with dutch baby, a whole crab, chocolate board, apple crumble, and passionfruit cheesecake. Oh yeah baby. Course after course. It was 2 hours of glorious eating. Neither of us felt stuffed when we were done. We paced it well. We took a 4:45 train in and an 8:15 train home. Got home around 9 something, had to wash my shirt because it was covered in food (yeah, I'm a slob), and went to bed around 11.
Couple more trips getting lined up. MN for starters. Might be going some other places too. I will find out details today. Quiet before the storm.
