I'm Still Alive
I got an email from Big Jim today about my failure to publish anything in five days. He writes, "Hope you ain't sick or worse went to work."
Nope, Big Jim, I've almost recovered from my round with the flu but I have been busy installing tile and wooden flooring in Thriller's town house. The tile is set and grouted, and the wooden flooring is well underway with a light at the end of the tunnel.
The Donald, you see, has been helping out this week and I've been working him like a rented mule. Of course, we take nice lunch breaks in search of some decent barbecue. So far, however, it's been fish at the Farmer's Market (keeps the arteries properly clogged), Momma burgers at Barry's (best in Raleigh), and some kind of ribs at Remington Grill (tasty).
There's a big splash in this morning's News and Observer about the new restaurant that's opening in downtown Raleigh featuring Ed Mitchell's barbecue. I knew there might be a problem when I saw a picture of that stainless steel hood on their eastern NC style pit. Yup, a barbecue plate is gonna cost some unsuspecting Yankee no less than $12.00! And, that doesn't include the wine. Yup, wine. Served in wine glasses.
Oh, my! The end of the world is surely near.
