Happy Anniversary to us.

Thirty-one years and we still like each other!

What an odd day

Well, today was odd enough. We planned to go to this barbecue chicken place we'd eaten at 20 or more years ago today for our anniversary. The chicken was always so good. We found it online last night. We dicided to go for lunch since it's only open at lunch during the week...

We get up and get ready this morning since it's about an hour and fifteen minute drive. We drive and drive since it's out in the middle of nowhere and it was CLOSED! There was a sign that said the water main was broken and they were closed.

So we got in the car and headed toward Winston-Salem, another half an hour at least. We decided on Chinese and we headed for a restaurant that we used to go to all the time and had been to not too long ago. It was closed down and some Japanese restaurant was there instead so we finally drove all the way across town to another Chinese place and had the buffet.

We drove half a day to eat 45 minutes from home. :/

We saw PotC: On Stranger Tides. I liked it. I prefer Will Turner but since Orlando was too busy... doing what? to be in it, I can live with it. The story was cute and North Carolina's own Blackbeard was in it along with his infamous Queen Anne's Revenge (See my earlier post: http://alexcat.livejournal.com/883819.html) There was also this wonderful young man who has finally given a face to my own young pirate, whose story I've not yet written but is based on the song Ship of Fools. Sam Claflin is his name.



Then we had choclate ice cream! YUM!

Time to start work on scifibigbang and pay a few bills.
