Friday’s plan: See Land of the Dead with my friend Jay, but first, dinner at Howard Johnson’s! HoJo’s is to my friends what Arnold’s is to Happy Days. Except, instead of going there every day, we haven’t been there for at least five years, ha ha. What’s the topic that comes up most from that last dinner? How I ate the fried clam dinner, with fries, milkshake and managed to stay alive. But that was then. We went out of our way to eat there because it’s closing soon.


Goodbye HoJo’s!

Before dinner, two nice ladies from Ohio recognized me. Best part about that? My friends got to witness it – I knew I was famous! Ha ha. I was so caught up in being recognized, I forgot to get their photo – damn! But it was a good dinner – where else can you eat mediocre food, without air conditioning, all for the low, low price of $95?

After dinner we split up, Jay and I headed over to the 9:20 showing of LAND OF THE DEAD! I was so excited for this zombie flick. But it was really bad. It reminded me of those 80’s slasher movies you always saw on HBO at 3 AM. Too bad.

I got home, turned on the AC and fell asleep on my sofa until 7 AM. Then I got in bed and woke up at 11. The plan this weekend was just to clean my apartment. But first, I watched Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai -- A modern classic. After that, I cleaned. I headed over to do my laundry at 6 PM. The place was empty! It was so relaxing. It’s the little things. Went to Target, A & P and then back home. I watched Vanilla Sky, had a brew and called it a night.

Did I mention that it was really humid this weekend? I stayed in by choice.

Sunday I watched The Good, the Bad and the Ugly – classic! I finished cleaning and that leads me to now. Hey, look how nicely my grass is coming in:

Bob's grass


My cats love this stuff and I loved growing it, I felt like a farmer! Oooo, you know what else I watched? To Live and Die in L.A. – that’s a damn good movie! Weird ending but very entertaining.

OK, that’s it!

Have a great day.

All my best,

Bob
