Jonathan and I just got back from the Greng's Theatres, having taken in "Walk Hard -- The Dewey Cox Story". The matinee theatre was empty save a few souls mid way towards the back of the theatre.
"Walk Hard" is no great work of art, not even comedically, but Jon and I took it at face value and laughed ourselves silly over its silliness.
We particularly enjoyed the Bob Dylan sendup.

This just in from a Doctor of Mixology: (bartender)
Drinks Which Reflect Personality
Before you order a drink in public, you should read this! Seven New
York City bartenders were asked if they could 'nail' a woman's
personality based on what she drinks. Though interviewed separately,
they concurred on almost all counts. The results:
PART A: WOMEN-DRINKS, WHO THEY ARE, & YOU!
Drink: Beer
Personality: Causal, low-maintenance; down to earth.
Your Approach: Challenge her to a game of pool.
Drink: Blender Drinks
Perso nality: Flaky, whiny, annoying; a pain in the ass.
Your Approach: Avoid her, unless you want to be her cabana boy.
Drink: Mixed Drinks
Personality: Older, more refined, high maintenance, has very picky
taste; knows EXACTLY what she wants.
Your Approach: You won't have to approach her . If she's interested,
she'll send YOU a drink..................
Drink: Wine (does not include White Zinfandel)
Personality: Conservative and classy; sophisticated yet giggles.
Your Approach: Tell her you love to travel and spend quiet evenings
with my friends.
Drink: White Zinfandel
Personality: Easy; thinks she is classy and sophisticated, actually,
she has NO clue.
Your Approach: Make her feel smarter than she is...this should be an
easy target.
Drink: Shots
Personality: Likes to hang with pals and looking to get totally
drunk.... and naked.
Your Approach: Easiest hit in the joint. You have been blessed.
Nothing to do but wait, however, be careful not to make her mad!
Drink: Tequila
No explanations required - everyone just KNOWS what happens there.
PART B: MAN-DRINKS & WHO THE MEN ARE!
THEN, there is the MALE addendum -- The deal with guys is, as
always, very simple and clear cut:
Domestic Beer: He's poor and wants to get laid.
Imported Beer: He likes good beer and wants to get laid .
Wine:
He is hoping that the wine will give him a sophisticated image
to help him get laid.
Whiskey: He doesn't give a damn about anything but getting laid.
Tequila: He is thinking he has a chance with the toothless
waitress.
White Zinfandel: He's gay

Dear Andy:
Is this a FOR SURE since we spoke? Did you actually find one on a dark dusty shelf? Or are you charging my account before you actually know you have the product? If you did find one and are sending it -- YOU ARE LIKE A GOD TO ME!
To which Andy replied:
Would I charge your card for the heck of it? OF COURSE I WOULD! But I charged it because I FOUND your silly helmet and you will have it within 10 business days (2 weeks). Now I have power over thee for eternity......I will get you the tracking # when it officially is heading your way. Merry Christmas to you and yours Larry and thanks for the business -

I guess you can tell that Mr. Hyman and I have established a "working relationship" over the last couple of years since i began my sports paraphanalia collection.
Last night's turkey dinner came out really juicy and flavorful. I am now convinced (after two of their birds) that the Honeysuckle brand tukey is the best on the market.
We are all set for tonight's dinner with a choice of hot turkey and gravy with cranberries, or tender, slow-cooked sliced bottom round roast and gravy which I prepared in the crock pot two days ago.
Then I think Jon, Kim and I will settle back and watch DVD's for the evening. Kim has now finished her last complete autumn semester as a teacher -- bring on the new year and spring retirement!
