A couple of years ago a restaurant in my neighborhood burned down. It had been there a long time and had been known for it's breakfast, which always drew a huge crowd, and the music - typically R&B and a wonderful place to go dance the night away. A kind of dive bar, I guess you could say. But it had character and it was a lot of fun. They never re-built on the old spot but rather chose to relocate a couple of blocks away in a new structure. They were selling $30 worth of food and drink for $15 on the weekend and so I thought, what the heck let's give it a try. And that's what we did last night. It is a very sterile environment. I wasn't impressed. The service was bad and the food was mediocre. Maybe because it was a Monday night? Although there were people there watching the Monday Night Football so ..... The menu had only 5 entrees besides sandwiches and they didn't have the one I wanted. I settled for some ravioli and they were barely edible. If I hadn't been starving I most likely wouldn't have eaten them. Ah well ... live and learn.
I drove all four days of last week because I had to be in early every day but yesterday we had no class in the morning and I was dying to ride in, so even though I had to bring my laptop I did just that. My new panniers are large enough for the laptop and all of the other stuff I need to bring in but oh my goodness, that extra weight was killer! I didn't notice it too much on the way in because it is more downhill riding but on the way home .... gasp! Plus there was a headwind. I had to really work to get up those hills. Not fun. On the good side, I felt like I was flying this morning since I wasn't carrying it.
Little knits has some 100% cashmere lace weight yarn on sale. I am trying trying trying to resist. I am weakening as I type. Maybe just one skein. I'll see what I can make with 350 yards. [Go ahead, call me an addict, but who doesn't love cashmere?]
