Purple George (Tobias named the blog today)

While playing World of Warcraft Tobias tried to kill me. I was laughing so hard I had an asthma attack. I have heard of epilepsy with lights from games but not ashma from laughing at games. I think I should sue Blizzard! With my luck they will just tell me to delete my WTF folder and that the problem is on my end.

For dinner we went to the word famous Genny's Diner. Why its world famous I don't know. I guess a movie was shot there. It was pretty good but I would not classify it as spectacular.

Its your typical diner, minimalist decor with a bit of dust and grime where the cleaners don't normally look. The bathroom floor was filthy, it felt like someone spilt a coke on it and didn't clean it up. A large fish tank is prominent as you enter the diner which was kind of nice at first but watching mondo sized gold fish trailing fish poop behind them kind of kills the appetite

The hamburgers were much too big. In fact all the food was too big and there was no options of smaller sizes. Oddly when we went in there, they had no sugar or honey. I don't use it but I did find that an odd thing to run out of. There is a Kroger's down the way if you cant get your supplier to deliver some go to the grocery store dude you are a restaurant.

Interestingly the coffee cups look like they were taken off the shelf at someones home. Cups with pictures of someones kids on them saying 'I love mommy'. Mine had a huge crack in it which was not to nice but I did chuckle at the down home feel of the cups gave.

They had one interesting food there, fried pickles. I know it sounds gross and I was expecting it to be so. But in reality it was very good. I really enjoyed them. the food was lacking in spices, maybe they ran out of those as well as the sugar. So my take on it is clean the bathroom floor, add some spice to the meals and make a smaller size. The staff were really nice. I did enjoy that. And the unrushed relaxed atmosphere was pleasant. So I think out of 5 stars I would likely give it a 3.

After dinner we went to restock the groceries that we had to throw out due to the power outage. We tossed out much of the food with the exception of the meats which we are feeding to the dogs. With the exception of Sirus, they will eat anything. Sirus will eat it if it meets his expectations which if 'prepared by a 5 star chef who is trained in the art of cooking for the Canis lupus familiaris.

We were down to eatting pop tarts, canned soup and dog food so I (read Ken) decided it was time to get more food in the house. I got a new cookbook during the power outage I am sure I could have made the dog food taste good given half a chance.

Shopping was an experience in itself as I had to walk around while in pain. I must of turned funny at the diner and hurt my back. It was not a pleasant time shopping. Mind you I rank grocery shopping just above getting a root canal and below scooping dog poop off the lawn.

I also have been hearing from my kids a little more which is nice. Sometimes I feel like they have fallen off the face of the earth. They all seem to be doing well which is nice to hear.
