Duck Butts

Last year for Christmas, Jim & Kelly gave us … Duck Butts. Actually, it’s a coat hanger. The piece of art rested in various places at the house until we decided that the ideal place to hang the butts was in the downstairs bathroom.

It replaces the existing towel rack so that had to be removed, which left white patches on the wall. So the wall had to be spackled and painted. Since we couldn’t match the existing paint, we decided to paint the whole room. Since we were going to paint, we thought we might as well replace the ugly lights. Might as well tile the floor, too. While we were at it, we replaced the old 1st generation low flush toilet. The molding got destroyed during demolition, so we replaced that, too.

Three weeks later, we finally hung the Duck Butts. Thanks Jim & Kelly. Give a fruit cake next time!

PJ’s Oysterbed

After being down all week with the mean flu, it was great to be able to go out and see some family. Jen was nice enough to organize a birthday get together for me. Asked where I wanted to go, I thought of PJ’s Oysterbed. The 1st and last time I was there was the night I met Sandy on a blind date. I believe it was 1997.

The food was great, the memories even better.

Havana

Since I stayed indoors all day, we decided to go out for dinner and try that new Cuban restaurant in town, Havana. Entrees were skipped in favor of tapas. We had the Twice Fried Plantains, Halibut Ceviche, Mixed Grill and Crab Cakes. Everything was excellent! Did I forget to mention the Mojitos.
