Sometimes I miss that part of the country.

Probably not enought to move back, though.

Mmm beer brats. I had my first one at a Michigan tailgate. Yeah you don't wana move back here. Jobs are scarce, the weather gets weirder and weirder, and there's nothing to do here unless you wana trek up to Traverse City or Mackinac.

Channel 2 Problem Solvers will be doing a special on him tonight at 10pm. I feel bad. This guy really has a mental sickness and they are going to exploit him on TV. I'm going to watch because I'm curious what they will say. He's really harmless, but he does disrupt our customers. I wish someone could just get him help.

I heard the ad for this on my way to work today and thought "I gotta post that on GC!", but then forgot about it. 11 more minutes!

I just met this guy! He's now saying that he's Justin Verlander's father. I was at ACO Hardware getting keys made (my son lost his) and he was having a key made also. He said he was leaving for Sidney, Australia tonight and that his son, Justin Verlander "You know, he pitches for the Tigers, do you like the Tigers?" was paying for the whole trip. The cashiers all gave each other knowing glances, so they clearly knew him and they were teasing him about how bad the Tigers did last season. He said "Sure, everybody says that now and then they'll be asking me for tickets in a few months". Seems like a harmless old guy, driving the white Cadillac still! I couldn't wait to get home to post it. I knew that Justin was from Virginia and that his parents still live there and this couldn't possibly be his dad. I found a bulletin board that said he's been claiming to be Justin's dad since around the time of that Fox2 newscast.

I ate at the restaurant last night, PM_Mama. That's where my daughter picked to go for her birthday dinner because she wanted cannoli!

Aw! That makes me excited! Happy Birthday to her also. What did you order? Do you remember who your server was?

I had lasagna this time. I think it's my favorite, closely rivaled by the meat ravioli and the gnochhi. The kids both had spaghetti and meatballs. The ex had chicken cacciatore. We had a guy server... I want to say Jason or Justin or one of the J names. My son had the chocolate dessert and he let me have a bite.. OMG that is rich! I don't know how he ate the whole thing!
