The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

Mary Lou and Gary NetFlixed Kodachrome. Gary fives it a four out of five. It is all about relationship and stuff and almost nothing to do with “Kodachrome”. Ed Harris was the father and a photojournalist. He played a terrific a$$hole ... but the movie gave little insight into the forces which pounded him into being said a$$hole. Worth watching.

The courtyard.

Last night Mary Lou, Mike (Max’s human), and Gary hit the Pasadena Playhouse to watch Belleville. A very interesting and engaging play, but man was it crazy manic and deeply depressing. The Pasadena Playhouse is lovely. It was built in 1927 and has a ton of charm.

Greek pizza. A completely different discussion!

As is Turkish pizza.

That is a fast discussion: no such thing.

They have various kinds of "pide" - bread with toppings, which sometimes includes cheese - but none of it could really be considered "pizza."

Well the sun is out and quite warm it is, off to the park in a bit with Susie.

Yay! It's Friday!

The contest voting threads go up tonight.

We are going to a Sheep & Wool festival this weekend. I've been told I can't get any live ones until after we move (to be friends with the goats and alpaca).

My wife and I started dating 10 years ago today.

@JonA_CT you're still a babe in the woods. LOL July 6th marks 39 years of marriage and still counting for us, which is outstanding considering the fact that DW was diagnosed with stage IV Multiple Myeloma (incurable cancer of the blood plasma) in 2009.

That's great. I hope that we can make it that far with whatever comes our way.

My parents are celebrating 42 years of marriage this year, and they got married within 4 months of meeting, thanks to the United States Navy. (My dad got transfer orders and didn't want to leave with out her, and she was crazy enough to say yes.) Its crazy how those things work out sometimes.

) Its crazy how those things work out sometimes.

Considering the strain that military life puts on marriages especially new ones, I'd call it fantastic that they've remained married

My Dad was a submariner, and it's very common for divorces to happen after retirement. They spend so much time disappearing into the world, even compared to most other military occupations, that it's hard to adjust to being with each other all the time when they are done.

To Gary, pizza has to have a sauce, otherwise it's flatbread. Of late, Gary has been using a lot of pesto in lieu of a tomato based sauce. Gary planted two more basils for more pesto. Gary's pesto gets lots of compliments.

A few months ago, Mary Lou retired ... now Gary has to go into the office more often.
