How not to be seen (disappointed)
So, I took the lady to Hops for lunch over the weekend. I’ve always liked them, great fries, kickass burgers (Backyard), MCG swore by the chicken tenders, and the Chicken Chili Cheese Burrito was to die for.
Note the usage of the word “was” in the last sentence - that is because Hops has, inexplicably, decided to change their menu, in some retarded effort to upscale. Backyard Burger - gone. CCCB - gone. Chicken tenders - not gone, but sadly, changed to a more herb based breading that destroys all that was good about it. I was, to put it mildly, disappointed. Yeah, they brew some good beer, but since I don’t drink that much these days, I don’t think I’ll be going back to Hops again if it’s my choice.
It occurred to me the other day that I am turning the corner right towards my third decade of existence. Some people might feel frightened at the loss of their twenties, that their best years are behind them, wah wah wah wah. But I’m not among them. Age is subjective, honestly, and as long as I approach life with a young, positive outlook, I’ll never be old. Besides, if I’m lucky, I’ll get me a trunk monkey for my birthday. By the way, gifts of any denomination will be graciously accepted - so what if you’ve never given me a birthday gift before? Now’s a great time to start!
And since I haven’t mentioned them recently, what is up with our beloved Bucs these days? I’m used to holding my breath during the fourth quarter with them holding close leads back in the Dungy days and all, but I never, ever thought I would have to worry about maintaining a freaking 21 point lead late in the 4th quarter. I thought it was our offense we had issues with - apparently, not anymore, seeing as how they’re now one of the most productive in the league. But with our defense as dinged up as it is (get well soon, Brian Kelly!), I’m not taking any games for granted from here on out. Thankfully, I don’t think the Bucs are, either.
Review haiku for you? Woo-woo! Lost in Translation
What? “Bill Murray” and
“poignant” in the same sentence?
Thank you, Domo Kun!
