Mister’s Big Adventure, Landon, RED, and RunPee.com . . .
Mister was waiting for us when Jan opened the door this morning. She looked out and called his name and he immediately came out from under the rig and bounded up the stairs.
I had left the outside door open all evening, along with leaving the light on. Before I went to bed about 12:30 am, I went outside and called him with no luck, so I’m pretty sure he wasn’t under the rig then.
He didn’t seem especially hungry and had not eaten the canned cat food I left out for him.
We’re thinking maybe he was inside with somebody last night, and they didn’t see the phone number on his tag.
We don’t know, and we don’t care.
He’s home safe!
Brandi sent over these latest Landon pics.
In this one, Landon was playing on the floor and then apparently suffered a severe nap attack.
And here, he’s just bored, bored, bored.
This afternoon Jan and I went to the Star Cinema Grill up in Webster to see the movie ‘RED’. Bruce Willis had been a favorite of ours, since we first saw him in a Miami Vice episode in 1984. and then a year later, co-starring in ‘Moonlighting’ with Cybil Shepherd. And, of course after that, the ‘Die Hard’ series, and much, much, more.
‘RED’ was hilarious. It was so good that we’re probably going to see it again next week, and that’s not something we do very often.
I think my favorite line was from Morgan Freeman’s character. . . “We’re getting the band back together”
As far as the Star Cinema Grill, it’s one of our favorite places to see a movie. About 5 years ago someone took a six screen movie theater that had closed because an 18 screen theater had opened about a mile away, and a 30 screen one had opened about 8 miles away, and turned it into a movie/restaurant. Not just a bigger snack bar, but a full-scale restaurant on the order of an Applebee’s, or a Chili’s.
And even better, the restaurant is in the theaters themselves. They took out every other row of seats and installed small tables, complete with call buttons and menus. The waiters are dressed in black so as not to distract during the movie.
We always try to there about 30 minutes before the movie starts to get our orders in. That way we get our meal before the movie starts.
Jan had their 1/4 pound all beef hotdog with Texas Toothpicks. Texas Toothpicks are slivers of jalapenos and onions battered and fried. They’re really good. And I had the Southwest Salad with chicken fajita meat. Also really good.
Also, if you’re so inclined, they have a full bar available. And, if later in the movie, you decide you want some popcorn, just press your call button and a waiter/waitress shows up to take your order.
Then about 15 minutes before the movie’s end, your waiter/waitress drops off your check.
This place is really great. The food is good, and there’s no rushing at the restaurant so you can make the movie start.
And as usually, before we left home, I checked with RunPee.com to find out the best times during the movie to . . . wait for it . . . wait for it . . . run pee. This is a great website. Just click on the movie you’re going to see and it will give you several places during the movie, the time you have, and what’s actually happening while you’re gone. Jan loves it.
Tomorrow, I’ve got some client’s to look in on, and after that we’ll see.
More then…
Thought for the Day:
"Taxation WITH representation ain’t so hot either."
