Stick 'em up!

Apparently, I have the look of a Chicago Police detective. I went to get a quick bite to eat this afternoon and I was wearing my city ID card around my neck. After sitting down and taking a look at my receipt, I noticed that I received a police discount on my meal. If they had served doughnuts, I could have only hoped that maybe they would have thrown one or two in for free.

In other news, Cindi and I had a fun trip down to Tennessee this weekend. We had a nice dinner at Pearl's on Sunday which was also Rachael's birthday and had a slice off the top of our wedding cake. It was still scrumptious after 10 months in the freezer. It was very different than the experience that Elaine Benes had from eating the 80 year old slice of royal wedding cake purchased by Mr. Peterman, and then pulling the "old Entenmann's shim-sham."

Cindi and I both bought matching North Face coats at Hammer's for a ridiculously low price. It did snow there Saturday, but the snow and wind were no match for the jacket as I tested it out for a walk around the woods in Sewanee.

Aaron and I went to see Casino Royale on Saturday. I'm not a huge Bond fan, but it was entertaining, and it was about high stakes poker so that was cool.

I had to laugh when on the way to Rachael and Aaron's house we saw a highway billboard sign advertising for Toot's Restaurant just outside of Nashville. I hear that the chili there is quite popular and potent if ya catch my drift (pun intended).

Welcome back to your (and Cindi's too) blog!!! Don't be a stranger, now, be sure to return often!! At first, I thought it was Cindi writing about looking like a Chicago police detective! So now, are you going to close down restaurants AND arrest people??!!

I can at least write them tickets. I don't think the director would approve of us arresting people for selling cold chicken sandwiches.
