short post on monday at 5 a.m.

We had a wonderful Patriarch's Day barbecue. I ran out of time and had to shorten the menu a tad. We had checken legs with a southwest marinade, chicken thighs with a barbecue rub, turkey sliders with chipotle aioli, beef sliders, fruit salad, beans, and smores. The weather was nice and we sat on the patio from beginning to end. Here's a link to the pictures.

And here is my favorite:


We all donned aprons...even the men and children. It was a hoot. Tom and Betty were there for the whole party but left before this opportunity. Bet they're sorry they missed it!

A good time was had by all and that's the point of it. A wonderful day.

I tried treading water and watching television through the window but that didn't work so well. There was a monkey and that's all I know. I can count quickly five people I know well who have lost their jobs or who are fearful of losing their jobs. Scary times. Regis says the atmosphere at his work is awful...people think that on Friday they will come for them. We're going to see Dean McGraw at the Bothy tomorrow night. This is one of the best shows in town for fifteen bucks. You can have some popcorn, sit in the front row, visit with the Doctor Daniels , and hear some fine music. Sometimes Dean has us sing an...
