Not a Thing to do Monday

Man Mondays are awesome, aren't they? Nothing to do, most people go back to work, a whole week until the weekend. Wow...awesome day! That's right...as far as I can see, there is nothing to do today. Luckily, a number of local businesses recognize the lack of activity on Monday's and they have discounts...or at least they used to. I searched high and low, bowling, mini golf, movie theaters...all of that stuff. Couldn't find a single Monday deal...

Visited an Italian joint called Gloria's Little Italy on Friday and I have to say, overall, I wasn't impressed. The food was good, I will give them that...but the customer service was lacking. After we sat down, it took our waitress fifteen minutes to come and take our order. And then, we never saw her again...instead they paraded three different people to our table. And of course when the food came, one of the dishes was incorrect. When we pointed this out, the server argued with us and the dish was never fixed. Food is really in 25% of the battle in the restaurant business Gloria's, if you want people to come back you've got to put out more effort than that. Overall Gloria's gets a rating of C.

About the Song Du Jour: "Lay Lady Lay" Bob Dylan

This song is comfort food for my soul. Bob Dylan is one of my favorite artists ever and I literally love every song he's ever made. But this sweet country ballad is so beautiful, it holds a special place in my heart. The vulnerable yet frank nature of the song will disarm the most prickly of characters.

Sadly that is all for today, hopefully more is going down tomorrow. Until then...happy Monday!
