That was the afternoon. A threat of meteorological drama which pittered and flittered into nothing. But for a while it looked as if something was about to descend from the clouds.<\/p>\n

But that was just part of the day. There was scanning. And scanning! And also I reproduced a digital representation of some real-world items into my computer. Finally, I placed things on a glass that covers a light, pressed a button and watch the light move in a predetermined back and forth fashion.<\/p>\n

Took The Yankee out to dinner at the local First Date Place. Haven’t been there in maybe 12 years. (I’ve had dates since then, but just not there.) Provino’s has moved since my last visit. The new place though manages to retain much of the look of the old location. The restaurant was a little cleaner and brighter than my memory — but my recollections can be dusty and dim.<\/p>\n

It was good back then and Provino’s was good tonight, too. The garlic rolls still come out in a pool of melted garlic. The salad is cheesy and … well, it is a salad, OK? She had the chicken francese, I had something that was acceptable, but wouldn’t be my regular dish.<\/p>\n

Before we ordered The Yankee said “Maybe it will be like Rome.” And then the waitress walks up and says “My name is Amy Leigh and — ”<\/p>\n

Yes, exactly like Rome.<\/p>\n

Random things<\/strong>: Noted the Eight Commandments of the gas pump. There were more, but they didn’t focus group well. The second one<\/a> is well written. I do not follow the one about cell phones, because I am not orthodox. I had a picture re-published on The War Eagle Reader<\/a>. And, tomorrow, it is back to class; so tonight it is back to ironing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
