- As mentioned before, I find the mores of the female gift-giving cycle equal parts fascinating and absurd.
- Just realized I’m now the same age as when my grandpa was when he passed away. He was a west Newport roughneck who smoked cigs, drank Wiedemann, worked for the railroad and enjoyed hunting rabbits and saddling up at the West End Cafe in his spare time. Went by the nickname Butch. Lied about his age to go to war at age 16. Could be ornery as hell but raised 5 kids and was well-liked. Meanwhile, I’m wearing a coral polo and loafers, and just texted my wife to see if she felt like sushi tonight.
- How do you feel about Hofbrashaus? I’ve always liked it but never loved it. It’s my dad’s all-time favorite restaurant so we’ll surely be there this weekend for his birthday. He’ll order the Newport Sampler, drink a couple lagers and joke around with our server. He does it every year.
- Have mentioned this a few times but I sure wish UK apparel was on this site:
