Surprise at Lunch

Today we were in Nashville for another trade show and my boss came up for the day. He took two of us out to lunch at one of my favorite Nashville restaurants, the Sunset Grill.

Every time I eat there we see a celebrity. Today we saw Bo Bice and he was nice enough to let me get this photo of my boss standing with him. Bo is a really nice guy and I really like his songs, too. We took one of me with Bo, but it turned out crappy and I deleted it. Just my luck! Maybe another time . . .

Dogs and Humans

The vet was telling me t dogs are a lot like humans in the diseases they can get and the treatments they can do. Did you know that the number 1 killer of dogs is cancer? I did not know that. I would have guessed car accidents or euthanasia from the dog pound.

Dogs can get diabetes and bleeding disorders and other things just like humans. I try to make sure none of my dogs develop weight issues. I keep them on a good diet and they get a lot of exercise, so I hope to have healthy dogs for a long time to come.

Wash Day

For years I would do laundry on Wednesday nights. It was always a night with several situation comedies on TV and I could time the trips downstairs to the washer, and then to the dryer, to coincide with the commercial breaks or between shows. But now I seem to just wash a load whenever there is enough accumulation to warrant running the machines. So, tonight is the night – I don’t see any point in waiting until Wednesday.

Fun in the Kitchen

I just discovered the Paula Dean web site and I am fired up about trying some of her recipes at home. She has the most wonderful personality and I know that everyone raves about how delicious her food is. Real Southern home cooking food. I’m going to start with a dessert and then work my way up to the main course. There are hundreds of recipes and videos on her site – I can’t wait to try a bunch of them.

Big Monitors

I remember when computers first came out and the monitors were nothing more than a stripped down TV set. Most of them were monotone – either gray text on a black screen or white/yellow text on a dark green screen.

When they actually went to color, and the world of graphics opened up for computer users. I remember seeing the high price tags for the color monitors and they were huge, heavy boxes of plastic with a screen full of glare.

Now, we have the color flat screen and high definition screens. They have gotten much cheaper and are the standard for today’s computer users.
