I have had a good but uneventful week and don't mind that at all. No back-to-back meetings so that I forget that I am retired from my 9 to 5. Watkins biz is good. What a joy it is, sometimes when I talk to people about Watkins they say, "You really like what you're doing don't you?" I have to laugh because I really do. I received a request from Canada for 'Good Tastings' event information Tuesday and have not yet responded. I must do it this morning. I finally finished my personal web site--it only took a year :-( I should be embarrassed by that but somehow I am not, just happy that it is done, well almost, just need to do some tweaking. I will see extended family for a short while today and head back home. I don't want to miss the Memorial Day happenings on PBS. Tomorrow I will stay close by; no shore for me. I do wish that I had remembered to request this holiday time. I can see myself sitting at the Basin eating clams casino, drinking a tall beer and looking at pretty boats. Oh boy :-)
Speaking of food. I ate at Applebee's one day this week. I know that a lot of people don't like them but I love their food (not the dessert though, too over the top). I ordered spinach salad with shrimp. It was delicious until I found something foreign in my food. Fortunately or unfortunately, I guess it depends on how you look at it, I had almost finished before I saw it. I did not panic, but I was grossed out, because I did not have my glasses on so I could have swallowed the dark mass. Anyway I told my waitress and showed her the clump on the side of the plate. She said she was sorry and nothing else. By the time I had two cups of coffee to wash away bad thoughts, the manager came over to talk to me. Just a few words and an apology and a freebie meal. She hoped that I would come back to Applebees' again. I am sure that I will, probably not too soon though.
