Long Time No See

It's again been a while since I was here. I go through periods of having nothing worthwhile (what I consider worthwhile) to say. I do this mainly as something for me to do as I doubt many, if any, people actually read it.

Over the weekend, Saturday to be exact, I went with my wife and her Dad to Red Lobster. This is an every few week ritual though it is usually done on Friday night. And, usually he wants to go to a pizza joint called Peppinos because it one of a few places left that you can sit and eat pizza and drink beer. In his world pizza isn't pizza without beer. The pizza tends to be on the greasy side but for some reason he thinks it's the best pizza on the planet.

Over the years most of the family has gone along with this although my brother-in-law got to the point he'd order a philly steak sandwich rather than eat the pizza. He still submitted to drinking the weak, thin tasting draft beer that is cheap. This is why my father-in-law likes it. Cheap and American (for the time being). I have trouble with the beer but have been hesitant to buck the system for fear of being called out as a traitor to the cause. There was this one time I got brave and ordered a Heiniken for which I caught the wrath of the father-in-law and have not made that mistake since.

I don't know the point of all this other than I'm am bored and rambling. The long and short of it is that this is the story of my life. So, this is living.
