Tonight for dinner I had four buffalo chicken egg rolls. The Red Brick Pub didn’t have them the other night so I went back to try them this evening. And to try their brand of Trivia. The egg rolls were decent – but I could have used more buffalo sauce. And they were a bit pricey at $12 for 4. I had mine with blue cheese. If I do have them again, I will ask for a side of buffalo sauce as well. At least the drink was relatively inexpensive!
Trivia was fun. I did ok. Not great. There were four rounds of seven questions each. And then a bonus/picture round with 10 answers. Everything was worth ten points. So a perfect score would be 380. I did not get anywhere near that, having missed a few in each round. And only getting 5 of the ten in the picture round. With PvK and MF we probably could have gotten at least 320. I don’t know if that would be enough to get us into second place. First and second were taken by two teams that were sitting right next to each other – effectively making their team 8 people. They were asked not to collude, but that didn’t stop them. Grrr. I might try to convince PvK and MF to go in December. Really, the questions were generally a lot easier than the Trivia at Twisted.
It was a two dash day and neither dash was worth saying much about. I am just happy that the week of dashing is over! Woo hoo even!
Well, I just got invited out for Thanksgiving dinner by EC and JC. That was very thoughtful of them. I wonder if I will then want to make myself a thanksgiving dinner but on another day. I really did like my menu. Hmm. Something to ponder. We might be headed to Geneva on the Lake. But nothing is certain at this point.
Oops, I did it again. I left my phone in my car. Normally this isn’t a big deal. But in the case of a Tesla, it is a huge deal! I wonder how I can help myself to remember to take it with me. I was wondering if an Apple Watch might have a way to alert me when I have left my phone behind. Like the phone alerts me when I have left my tablet behind. (It does)
Augustus for President: Does anyone else have weird bursts of creativity? For no apparent reason I was on a bit of a tear since around 6 this morning. I wrote a lot of speech snippets. And put a lot of thoughts into my database. And I had this wacky thought that turned out to be a decent one. What if instead of doing two round trips to and from the lower 48 to Hawaii and Alaska, I do an open jaw trip that flies me from one airport to one of those states. And then from that state to the other state and then back to the first airport? I just looked on Google Flights for a trip in March (which is when I think I might be near SFO) and it was surprisingly reasonably priced. ($681 for the whole trip). Go figure. I might just have to book that. Then again, since there is no direct flights from Juneau to Honolulu I might just go ahead and book them all separately.
I gave out two stickers today, to fellow trivia players. Pat and, er, I really need to be better at remembering people’s names!
Will I give up this blog when I start the presidential blog in January? We shall see.
