The Book ALWAYS Has More Detail Than The Movie
Awhile back, I wrote about my old war buddy's daughter, who should be everyone's reference for Eat, Drink, Be Merry in San Francisco. She digs deeper than the CIA...She has more detail than an IRS computer and more humor than a week of monologues on the Letterman show. And if THAT'S not enough, she tells the truth!
Since then, she has gotten published........YOWZAH!
The book has the facts, got it? GOOD! Now...GET IT!!!
The Title: the tablehopper's guide to dining and drinking in san francisco
The author-ette: Marcia (rhymes with Garcia) Gagliardi (pronounced Gahl-YAR-dee)

Seeking Information

I've done some heavy searching, but have had minimal success. I'm hoping someone can educate me on this knife. All I've discovered is that it was manufactured by Coltelleri Riunite, a Knife Cooperative. The logo can be seen at the base of the blade. Under the logo is TRIANGOLO. Measurements are as follows:
Total length: 9-1/8"
Handle length: 5-1/4"
Wood only length: 4-5/16"
Weight is 6.0 ounces
What might seem to be a lanyard at the top of the handle is actually a blade release lever. When the blade is full opened, it locks. To close the blade, you flip the lever toward the blade and push until the blade unlocks, thereby allowing it to close.
Before you know it.........
Random thoughts pass through the mind on a gray, rainy day on the shores of Lake Erie. At this time of year, gray skies can be a constant, causing depression in those who have relocated, let alone the natives.
While randomly thinking, it occurred to me that it's been quite awhile since my fingers tapped upon the keyboard to update my blog. Upon opening the page, my reaction was, "GEEEEZISS!" So very l-o-n-g. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
Time, along with evolution, can pass with little notice. Friends move, your favorite teevee show gets cancelled and just when you understand your owner's manual for the car, it's time to get a new model.
Electronics probably are a-changing most frequently. I've heard that the manufacturers already know what we'll be using 5 years hence, but restrain themselves because so few of us would comprehend all the changes. (Im not one of the few)
I keep a record of all my accesses and passwords should I wake and not remember whose head dented my pillow. Thufferin thuccotash...there are 29...TWENTY-NINE!!! Who the heck has 29?!? Granted, most are infrequently used, ergo, the written record. Chances are, if you counted YOURS, you'd be MORE amazed! Own up...can you instantly recall your library password?
Now that I've somewhat cleared my conscience, I must check my emails.
Where DOES that time go?

Sunny Sunday
If you're living in a 4 season area, DO enjoy the upcoming week of Indian Summer. Yup, the leaves completed their mission of quiet beauty and now hide your lawn. Before long, even that will be hidden by the softness of the fallen snow, as the earth begins its annual nap. You might want to dig out last year's bag of rock salt and slam dunk it several times to loosen the clump.
While you're in the garage making space for the car, please give a good thought to YOUR God for my buddy, Boomer, as he prepares to do battle with the big C. He needs to lower his white count before the chemo starts. Let's all cyber hand-hold to combine all the energy he needs for success.
As luck would have it dept: I forgot to turn back my smoke alarm and missed the okra carving contest at the A & P!!!

What I ponder on a bleak, rainy, windy Friday
Friday, November 5, 2010 9:57 AM
On the lighter side
This week, our mower hit the unemployment line, son #1, tablehopper.com and later this month, grandson #2 blow out another candle. As I enter the days of baseball withdrawal, I loved seeing one of the better playoffs and world series in quite some time. We'll miss you, Sparky Anderson!
On the heavier side
Will the "lawn decorating" election signs disappear as quickly as they "grew?"
Money spent by those who did NOT win would have stocked many a food bank. When I become king, there will be a 30 day campaign season, 5 ads per day, per candidate on broadcast media, 1 million dollar cap on spending and absolutely no robotic phone calls.
The amount of mud tossed was enough to fill the La Brea tar pits. Did ANY candidate say ANYthing honest? And, when will we return to, "by, of and for the people?"
Does a good teevee series HAVE to turn into neurotics unanimous? After the 1st 3 installments, most prime-times morph into agendas, issues and the inevitable bed-hopping olympics.
Action vs reaction: To those who "write" commercials for broadcast media, when I hear your "this is cool" incessant beating of drums in the background of your ads, I immediately go elsewhere. Don't you wonder about the folks who approve some of those ads? C'mon...an insurance agent in a woodpile?!?
We need check-out nazis for those who have no regard for "Less than 12 items."
Ponzi schemers and others who bilk the innocents belong at Leavenworth, not at cushy inns that should never have been built. By the way, why have no bankers been indicted?
I and many others applaud those raising money to find a cure for cancer. By no means do I demean your efforts. But, did you know...? Several weeks ago, our local newspaper listed industries with surplus cash...that's CASH. The auto world was first and the 2nd was the medical "industry" with a cash surplus of 140 BILLION DOLLARS! Is there documentation of disbursement from the likes of Susan B and others? For years, I've ranted about the increasing cost of health care. Are you oblivious to the architectural wonders they call offices? Do you see how the employees dress, what they drive and where they live? Is YOUR health plan equal to theirs?
(And my daughter wonders why I'm grumpy)
That's a lot to absorb, so I'll sign off for now, as you probably need prep time to sort out what 5 people talking at the same time are saying on The View.
