For lunch Friday I went with the gang to 98K, a Korean fried chicken place in Duluth. I ordered the pineapple chicken sandwich, thinking it was breaded fried chicken. Instead it was grilled chicken, which was tasty but not as good. Dany Dong ordered a huge 8 piece plate of fried chicken, plus popcorn chicken that he shared with the table. Also Dray, Daniel, Angie, and Rachel. Loved the Korean pop music playing over the speakers.
Wednesday: small group. Gym on Thursday morning. I was eating a jelly donut at work and the jelly plopped out right down on my computer keyboard, and the keys got super sticky. Ugh.
On Thursday Winnie and Okie were home alone all day, so I left work early to go let them out. Of course traffic was super bad – even a wreck on Marietta Highway near our house. I'd noticed long lines of cars long before I got near, and knew something was up somewhere. I had to detour way around and enter our neighborhood the back way.
Got home only to discover that Winnie was out of her special organic wild salmon dog food. Drove to The Avenue East Cobb to the little boutique pet store, but it had gone out of business. Googled who stocks this brand. The closest store was already closed, but found another Pet Supermarket near Wheeler High. Was astounded at the high price. Man Winnie eats better than we do.
This morning after walking both Winnie and Okie, I fed them while I took a shower. Fed Winnie in her crate so she wouldn't eat Okie's food. Okie had been excited to get his food, but when I came back downstairs Okie hadn't eaten all his food. Maybe I fed him too much. I had to let Winnie out of her crate, and of course she went over and started munching on Okie's food. Okie didn't seem to care - he snuggled next to me on the couch.
Last night I had started to watch "What Happens Later", a "romantic comedy" starring Meg Ryan and David Duchovny stuck in an airport terminal. I rarely turn off movies 25% of the way in, but I did on this one. A middle-aged Duchovny doesn't make for the romcom type, and Ryan has lost her luster. Not worth tracking down a photo to post.
Shows that I need to catch up on, or check out - a long list:
Only Murders in the Building
Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage
Elsbeth with Carrie Preston
High Potential with Kaitlin Olsen
Chicago Med with Oliver Pratt, Steven Weber, and Jessy Schram.
Land Man with Billy Bob Thorton on Paramount.
Nobody Wants This with Kristin Bell on Netflix
Molly's Game with Kevin Cosner, about a high stakes poker game.
A good Denison column today on the decline in reading, leading to the return of a more antagonistic culture: "discourse is collapsing into panic, hatred, and tribal warfare". "Politics in the age of short form video favors heightened emotions, ignorance, and unevidenced assertions. Rational, dispassionate print-based liberal democratic order may not survive this revolution."
TOM SEAVER [SABR Bio] holds most consecutive seasons with 200 strikeouts, from 1968-1976. Seaver struck out 205, 208, 283, 289, 249, 251, 201, 243, & 235, all with the Mets.
