I'm back...
...and I've got questions!
- My father's birthday is in less than a week. We celebrated with a dinner, but it was at The Pasta House Co. (St. Louis' answer to The Olive Garden) so you can just imagine how special that was. His wish for "exotic meat" was trumped by his desire for "kid-friendly". So can anyone recommend a good mail-order exotic meat provider? He's good with the barbecue, so if I could only get some flash-frozen komodo steaks to him, I'm sure he'd do fine.
- Remember that guy from the Mitsubishi radio ads? The one with the gravelly voice and deadpan demeanour? No? He also played the tooth fairy in a series of t.v. spots for Sonicare, dressed in a pink tutu. Who is he? How do I go about finding out?
- At Vintage Vinyl with my brother, I ended up buying the Ffa Coffi Pawb compilation at something near full price and haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. Was this money well spent or am I going to end up feeling like a fool?
- Yesterday I visited the grand old cemetary where some of my ancestors are buried. When I mentioned this to the Scoutmaster, he said, "Don't people usually do that on All Souls [i.e. today]?" I couldn't say, since my family had no tradition of graveyard visits until I started promoting them. So what is your usual day for visiting family plots, if any?
