Greasy Joan Doth Keel the Pot

This morning Dick worked at the Agency. He's especially worried about L., who can't keep his papers straight. Someday soon we may have to go make a call on him and help him get his act together.


Overnight I TiVoed "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" off our free trial HBO. It's the one Harry Potter movie that I haven't seen. I had fun watching it this morning since it was such a rainy day. I really enjoyed it. Dick thinks that I suffer from arrested development.


This afternoon we went for a ride to inspect our Expand Your Universe multi-cache to make sure all of the numbers were legible. And then we went out to dinner at South City Limits, and that's where Greasy Joan comes in.

I ordered fish and chips without the chips, and the fish was just swimming in oil - it was amazing. I used 14,000 napkins trying to sop up the grease from my plate. Dick thinks that the oil wasn't hot enough, and I agree. Anyway, it was most disappointing. But the owner gave us $5 off the bill, and we really didn't complain - just commented that it was a little greasy when she asked me how everything was.


I think that's the second time in my 68 years that I've ever been disappointed and received a discount. The other time was in Port Aransas, Texas when I ordered a steak well done and it came with blood all over the plate. That time, the owner gave all 4 of us free dinners.
