Some days suck for no particular reason. This was one of them. Period started - always icky and not welcome. People on the roads are idiots - if it was up to me, most of them would be required to take the bus, especially Asians, old people, the ones who think they don't have to go the speed limit, smokers, and anyone talking or texting on a cell.

Next thing on my list of sucky things about today - people who already have their minds made up about - whatever. One of my favorite types of food is Chinese - several dishes I like. Could eat Chinese a couple of times a week, at least. I like the old school places mostly, the "updated" Chinese like P.F. Changs are okay, but not my favorite, and there are several places I like to go. Couple of weeks ago we went to "Molly Woo's", an Asian-style place started by a local, very American restauranteur who named the place after his wife, Molly - it was crowded, flashy, over-rated. The big test - how long it took before I had to rush to the bathroom - not long. Bob loved the place and has decided that if I want Chinese, I can take him there. Now when he agrees to Chinese, that's the place. Same deal with Mexican - it no longer means the authentic Mexican place I like, but the "gourmet" place with the overdone sauces, crappy drinks and overpriced guacamole that they make fresh at the table - and charge you $10 for the honor.

So, I suggest egg sandwiches for dinner, thinking I just want to get some stuff at the store and go home and chill - and he suggests Mexican or Chinese, but it's not until we're in the car on the way when I ask "when you said Mexican or Chinese, where did you mean?" only to learn that he didn't intend the same places I did. I left it up to him, and we ended up at Mexican. There was more to the story and now I'm just tired of talking about it. So, never mind . . .
