The Living Room

No, I'm not remodeling or painting. The Living Room is a restaurant/bar establishment here in the Valley with one location in Chandler and one in Phoenix.

We hit the Phoenix one today for lunch. It's on 7th St and not far from our office. I suspected it was my kind of place from the cool decor but I KNEW it was my kind of place when I saw that the menu had more booze than food pages.

It was good food, though! I had Italian Sausage Sliders that were very flavorful and the bread was delightfully fluffy without falling apart. One of my companions had a Chicken Sandwich and Butternut Soup. She said both were quite good and I feel compelled to order the soup next time. It looked yummy! Our other lunch mate had the Reuban with fries and liked those as well. We closed with a Pecan Torte with ice cream and a ginormous Chocolate Chip Cookie with ice cream.

Back to the decor. It was cool and inviting. Retro chairs, several couches and padded stools and a small bar that my friend said gets pretty packed at Happy Hour.

Speaking of Happy Hour, all wines are $5 a glass. I'm sensing a Happy Hour(s) of wine and cheese appearing in my near future.

TV At Its Finest

I was talking to someone today who didn’t know who Bob Newhart was. I cut him some slack because he’s a youngster and didn’t grow up in the U.S. I told him about The Bob Newhart show and how it became a college drinking game and about Newhart, "Hi, I'm Larry; this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl." He was going to go to Wikipedia and do some research. The conversation got me thinking. Back in the day (like when dinosaurs were alive and I was young and there were only four channels on TV), we caught a lot of reruns of what are now considered classic TV. Especially, if you were a latchkey kid like I was, there wasn’t a lot going on in the afternoon/early evening so it was either soap operas or reruns unless you were allowed to be outside and play. And, of course, during summer vacation you had even more time to watch the boob tube. Here’s what I remember watching during those years: Gilligan’s Island, Big Valley (I’m still looking for my very own N...

February 2020

Most of 2020 sucked. But, there were some good moments that made memories to cling to. I'm going to review some of those moments from each month. (Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) I moved into my house in May of 2019 and it was already hot out so I used the Arizona summer as an excuse not to do anything to my patio or yard. I don't recall what excuse I used to justify ignoring the both in the fall and winter. Let's go with complete laziness. It's entirely plausible. However, I had to get on the stick and pretty it up because I had a bunch of company scheduled for the spring. The first thing I did was get some inexpensive chairs from Target for my beat up table. I honestly thought I could jam them into my car. I really, really did. One would never guess I was a Tetris master. After several futile attempts, this is how it ultimately went down. Adam (answering cell): Hi, Kathy! Me: Hi...
