How (Some) Mighty Have Fallen

Yay. Went for our first family outing in 2012 that didn't center around the grocery store or the baby doctor. Pure 100% recreational. Headed out to Main Street to do some Main Streeting, ya know, pick up a record, browse the antiquities, buy some baked goods, have an international lunch, read the local flare, peruse the voluminous local book shop. That kind of stuff.

Well, we got to do half of that. The record store sucks beyond recognition. I haven't been there since early last summer and they the same tired old stuff collecting dust, except for some new used Doobie Brothers lps but, c'mon.

The Turkish restaurant we love so much, because it's not only delicious but the portions are appropriately tiny and the price is right, has disappeared. No idea what happened there.

The bakery we were gonna buy a 8 foot roll at to make our 8 foot hoagie for the game tomorrow was empty inside as well. What the hell?

We did manage a remarkably tasty lunch at Sweet Creams of pita pizza, roast beef BLT, and the finest spinach artichoke dip this side the Rio Grande. We killed it and Yuula sucked every last artichoke off those chips. I drank an Arnold Palmer. And never has anyone found such pleasure in simply obeying the crosswalk.
