my taxes were filed in February!
This was simply my first Tina Tuesday post-travel to Tallahassee -
such a glorious day!
High in the mid-80's, y'all, and not a drop of rain in sight!
Of course, one does have to watch out for the dead fronds of oak leaves swirling through the air like some demented type of snow, but at least that means the season of oak sperm coloring the horizon a smudgy yellow is finally drawing to a close.
As I drove to Tallahassee last Thursday along the Wire Grass Corridor, I could see what looked like big-city smog hanging over the open road... ugh!
No wonder my eyes were burning!
My eyes are still telling me there's pollen in the air here, but at least the signs are forecasting the end to that is drawing nigh.
Meanwhile, I took a break from yard work to see movies.
Yes, that's plural!
Comcast allowed me to choose between a movie about baseball, a movie about football, or a movie about basketball.
My choice was for "Major League", naturally, for some zany teammates that still play regulation baseball - hooray!
My cousin, Bobby, reminded me that Columbia has a Single-A team that I need to come and watch with him, so I do believe that I'll do that very thing this summer!
In the meantime, I watched the movie with Charlie Sheen as a "Wild Thing" pitcher!
That was great with breakfast!
Then I bounced out for some Big-D action at the AMC with Rami Malek - good call!
He was a man on a mission to kill the terrorist that slew his wife, as well as any of that guy's three associates that got in the way.
So much action for "The Amateur"!!!
I thought about staying for another flick, but I was hungry.
Actually, knowing that I had the Veterans Day coupon from Texas Roadhouse burning a hole in my pocket convinced me that I was hungry...
even though I had the cameo popcorn special with Rami...
so off to dine I went!
The Pork chop Dinner - Single, not Double - was just perfect, especially as I paired it with the house salad and a baked sweet potato.
That's veggies and dessert, right there!
I also brought along a $5 gift card, free from AARP, to defray the cost of Tater Skins.
That means my dinner and appetizer, including tip, ran less than $9.
I brought home half the pork chop, half the sweet potato, six of the eight Tater Skins, and three of the hour dinner rolls.
More meals I don't have to cook or prep!
Hallelujah!
Yes, this has been a lovely, low-key, Tina Tuesday!
(smile!)
