Teppanyaki Dining

Tonight we went to a wonderful Japanese restaurant, Teppanyaki Asian Cuisine, in Franklin. This was a small holiday get together with our great friends, Susan and Richard.  It was delicious! When we go to Walt Disney World we always catch a dinner at Teppanyaki Dining Room, the Japanese restaurant there, but this one was even better! They give you so much food! But of course I ate almost everything in sight! Even with chopsticks!

Hal

 When I met my partner Mike 11 years ago, I also became friends with a wonderful bear named Hal Hillman. Sadly he passed away in early 2004 due to a heart attack. He had been sick for a while and was waiting for a new kidney. Mike and I miss him terribly. Here is a short slideshow I created of this wonderful, big lug!

A Christmas Tree

 

Yesterday we decided to get our Christmas tree. We first talked about whether we should get an artificial one or a live one. I like the look of a real tree… but the work it is to get it in the stand, keep it watered, and the cleanup had me leaning to a fake tree. We decided to go to Sears and buy one. We found one that we liked, and it wasn’t in stock. This prompted a search at Lowes, Home Depot, Macy’s, J.C. Penny,  Walmart, and Target! I was exhausted from our search! When we returned home I ordered the one we liked at Sears online. A real tree would have been much less hassle!

Mitt Romney… The Rugged Sportsman?

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. I was flipping through the cable channels when I came across Governor Mitt Romney on ESPN’s Charlie Moore Show. Mitt and Charlie were kibitzing about fishing and then went water skiing. How I hate our Governor and his dumb ass grin. He is so obviously trying to show how he is just like the down home, middle Americans, he is courting to vote for him in the next presidential election. He has done that since the day he arrived here in Massachusetts. What bugs me is that he is so obvious about it, and comes across so insincere. Last week he was grandstanding against gay marriage. I truly believe that he really doesn’t stand for anything. All he wants is to be president… and he will pander to anyone who will listen. It’s disgusting. I think I just threw up again.  

Julia Sweeney

I saw Julia Sweeny on The View today. She has a new show out on CD about her spiritual trek from Catholicism to atheism. I have always found her funny, and it should make an interesting listen. I have heard from my friend Danny that her first show, God Said, Ha!, is great and would like to hear that one also someday.  I believe it deals  with the death of her brother from cancer and her diagnosis of cancer at the same time. None of these issues sound very funny, but she is a talented comedian, and it will be interesting to hear her take on them!

Kudos:  Julia Sweeney

Feeling Better

Well I am feeling much better, although awfully tired. They had to intubate me during surgery and they really injured my larynx. I had a constant tickle in my throat. My sides were sore from coughing so much. That has thankfully healed. I have a large hole in my buttocks that has to be kept open to drain. Yuck! I don’t wish an abscess on anyone! I know, I have shared more information than you really wanted to read. I just hope this is the beginning of the end to my problems down there! Mike has been waiting on both me and my mother. I have felt so helpless. I can’t wait till I can sit comfortably. Thank you all for your well wishes!
