Play Date

My boyfriend and I had a play date yesterday. He was working late with Total Detection Systems, a security company, and went to his regular night shift job late. So I went over to his house, let the dogs out for a few minutes and he came home. We played with the dogs, got a soft drink, split a munchie and parted ways. I have great photos of the dogs at play. I really don't know who had more fun, the dogs or us. Belle is a ball hound, but Sam, her puppy, has her beat - he can fit 2 tennis balls in his mouth at the same time. Harry loves to play with the Kong, and Sizzle just loves to play.

St. Patty's Day at Johnny's

Saturday we went out to Johnny's Pizza, one of our favorite haunts. We got there and the place was pleasantly full. After trying to figure out whether we wanted garlic bread with cheese or cheese bread (cheese bread is our normal appetizer) we ordered our pizza and sat back to enjoy the evening. We talked about work, English literature (how did that one get in there?) and speculated on how long the guy at the table near us would wear the oversized green glasses and the green sparkly headband with shamrock antennas. We had our regular order of pepperoni pizza with half sausage and half black olives. After a leisurely meal, we watched as the little league baseball teams poured in, 20 minutes before closing. We then went for a short ride in the chick-magnet, decided we wanted dessert but realized that there was not a place nearby for dessert.

Farewell to Bogey

My boyfriend's dog drowned this past Saturday. He was a happy-go-lucky Golden Retriever puppy under 2 years old. He was born 12-12-05 and passed away 3-18-07. His owner took him out for a jaunt at the park and let him go swimming on a mild afternoon. She threw a stick into the water and he retrieved it, threw it again, when he got it and swam back he went under. She dove in after him and grabbed his collar. When she started to drown she let go and never got hold of Bogey again.

It is with deep sympathy that I am writing this, both for the owner and my boyfriend. Everyone who met this dog fell in love with him. He was a dancer, full of life, and a big goof who could charm a room full of people.

We will miss you Bogie!

Spamalot!!

My boyfriend's birthday is coming up soon, well, in 2 months. He is a big Monty Python fan (I have to admit I do enjoy John Cleese) and Spamalot was here in Atlanta for a short time. Since he is such a big fan I couldn't resist the opportunity of treating him to a play. I went to the play with a little hesitation, having seen The Holy Grail dvd last week. However I was pleasantly suprised and thoroughly enjoyed the play. I don't think there was an act that was too droll or didn't have enough slapstick humor to delight the audience. Nothing was sacred, not even the play itself. If you have the opportunity to go, I thoroughly recommend it! Afterwards we went out to the OK Cafe to eat, it is a retro diner in Atlanta with Southern style cooking. It was a good thing that the servings were large as we both were extremely hungry by the time we arrived! Needless to say, we were stuffed as we left.
