The Coffee House

@Sharon: Since you liked the steak ... chicken tonight, it is marinating away in my homemade BBQ sauce w/ some herbs and spices. Come on over. A Netflix came in today and we'll most likely toss it up on the big screen.

Gary, I had seriously forgotten that you could still get discs from Netflix. Crazy, right?

We went to the park for a picnic this evening. We met up with our friends who just had a baby. I hadn't had a chance to meet him yet...he is 4 weeks old and 8 pounds. With my 21 pound monster that climbs everything in sight and eats like a monster, I can't believe how small he is and she used to be.

@Jon: There is an entirely different catalog between streaming and mail.

Man that looks pretty good.

Those greens look incredible. My mouth is watering on the sensation of taste at those grill marks (chicken). The flavor must be dynamite.

Yes, Gary wishes you lived in SoCal ... You'd have a permanent seat at my table.

Man, that would be good times. Hopefully some day soon.

Yeah -- it's just been a long time since I've gotten discs from them. I was an early Netflix adopter (2006 I believe...). If we watched more movies, I totally would get that part of the subscription again, but we don't even watch that much TV while school is in session (except for football).

Lazy Saturday morning for the ferrets

Gary A. · Sep 17, 2016

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Another overcast morning. Today will be a busy day. Gary and MAry Lou will be taking Gary's youngest daughter Amy and her friend Erica to see Lion King in San Diego. Mary Lou and Amy are both doing backflips they are so excited. We are taking an inland route to San Diego, south through Temecula to pick up Gary's fall wine pick-ups. Definitely some breakfast in Temecula but no wine tasting as we don't have the time. Gary is dropping off to Amy a dozen posters he framed for her new apartment. That was tedious measuring and Gary was frustrated miscutting a few of the mats. SC plays the first of its PAC 12 games today against Stanford. We'll see what kind of team their new head coach has put together.

@ Jon- With the kids out of the nest, you get to rediscover the joys of movies and food. Installing ten foot projector screens, (one inside and one outside), really brings the fun and scale of theater ... home. Nearly every day Mary Lou says that it is so nice to be home. The house is small, as a structure not much to speak of ... But we have packed a lot of entertainment and comfy value into a small space.

And when we feel like getting out ... At the end of the driveway we have California spreading out before us, the beaches, the mountains the deserts, the cities, the weather, the wineries (lol) ... All the world class geography and cultural venues of California within driving distances from our house.
