Burger 21 and True Grit

First of all, Rachel, if you're reading this, know that I finally bought my bride's maid dress yesterday! Thanks for the reminder. They said that it should come in by March 31st at the absolute latest, which the lady reassured me was soon enough to have it sent away for alterations and received again in time for me to take it with me to the wedding. Always good to know.

In other news, Chris and I went to a really cool burger joint in Westchase (nice part of Tampa) that was opened by one of the best chef's in the bay area. I haven't had a burger in a year since my dad's bypass surgery, and while my barbecue, bacon, cheeseburger was definitely beef and certainly good, it wasn't as appealing as I thought it would be. I guess if you don't eat a burger for a long enough amount of time they lose their tastiness. The Blue Moon cheese fries were awesome though, and Chris had the best banana fosters milkshake known to man. I don't like bananas very much, but I was ready to order my own.

After the dinner we went to see True Grit, the western that originally starred John Wayne. It was really good for a western, but it was still a, you dragged me behind my horse so I shot you, western. It was like watching one of Shakespeare's tragedies; everyone fights trough the whole thing and everyone except the narrator dies at the end. Sorry, I'm not a fan of westerners. It was a fun night though either way.

Last weekend we took Bogart to the dog park by our apartment. We usually only go into the park if it's empty since he has a habit of not always getting along great with other dogs. Last week though there were five dogs in the park, and he was wagging his tail when they sniffed him through the fence so we took him in to see what he'd do. We kept him on the leash for ten minutes, and when he sprinted after the other dogs when they ran off to play, we took him off the leash and let him go, too. He was the happiest dog in the place. He ran and jumped with the other dogs almost all of whom were as big as him. He did great. He played for an hour before he started having trouble with his legs. It was a lot of fun to watch.

Well it seems as though we've made it to the end of Monday. I have a feeling tomorrow is going to drag since i have Wednesday off to go to the dentist and for a follow up Dr. appointment and the day before a break always seems extra long. We'll see. If you're up North, stay warm, and if you're down here, then stay dry. I couldn't tell what was rain, sea, or sky on the causeway going to work this morning. Unfortunately for some people in the more northern regions they have that problem with snow. Glad it's not me. See you later.
