Simple odds and ends

We went to Simple (as always on Monday evening) to hang out and watch the Yankees suck again, but while I was there I managed to take a couple more short videos, so I put them here on our bar video page.

Also this weekend we found one of my long-lost friends, Ernie!!!  We used to send him on trips with a friend (he's been to Hong Kong) to have his pic taken, so I figured why not take him to see everything we see.  He can explain more here.

Here's an artsy photo of Lou and Tony from the evening as well...

Shopping cart nirvana

This morning before we went to brunch, I ran up to Target to get a few things and OMG...I got a shopping cart like you would not believe!  I didn't want to let it go.   I didn't hear a wheel squeak the entire time I pushed it, it was such an incredibly smooth ride, I have never had a more pleasurable shopping experience in my life.  I did find myself looking back at the cart longingly as I walked to a product down a crowded aisle, being sure noone else found my little piece of heaven. 

When I left her in the corral in the parking lot, I wanted to mark her so I could be reunited onn my next visit but I know that the next shopper would not realize the beauty that she was and would gradually wear her down so that it would never be the same.  I can only hope that I meet up with another cart that can prove to be half as good as it treated me today.  I found another reason to shop at Target today and I will not stop until I meet it's match.  I've tasted the best and I will no longer settle for a wobbly, squeaky, ungodly cart again.
