Dinner in Joe’s Basement

Last night we had a lovely dinner with Melissa Doll and her husband Rob. For those who do not know Melissa is my niece, the oldest daughter of my sister Kim. She was married 7 days ago in Indiana. My mom and Sister Becky attended the wedding festivities. With the recent birth of my daughter Sally, a trip to Indiana was not in the cards for me, so it was nice that Rob & Melissa were able to be here as a part of their honeymoon. You may be saying where is Joe’s Basement… well that is the translation of the Italian name of Buca di Beppo. Dinner was really good… we had spicy stuffed shells.

This morning I want to work and painted some more. My new office was officially 5 different colors. If you are keeping score it was orange, green, yellowish cream color, white and tannish white. It will now be Aleutian Blue and Naval Blue. It is a nice combo from the lovely paint people at Sherwin Williams. It is a pretty soothing color. These days I need my office to be as calm as possible. I will be finishing the paint job and moving next week, probably not until Thursday, unless I can squeeze a little time in on Tuesday.

Sally & Christie are both napping right now… one with a headache and the other because she is an infant. I am watching Crimson Tide and readying myself for classes next week.

Here is a question for anyone reading to answer… If you could take a ride in a Navy submarine would you? (Not the Disneyland kind… the real Navy kind…)

    No. I’m claustrophobic, I think. I couldn’t even stay in the Russian sub on display at the Queen Mary so many moons ago.

    P.S. Didn’t know about Joe’s basement. Interesting fact.

    Navy sub? Sign me up! I’d love to make pinging noises at random times, and boy I’d bet a good snap would echo for hours in that underground metal box.

    I’d go with Kurt. Do you get a free USS-subname hat?

    Could it be a yellow submarine? Yeah, probably but I don’t think that I could live down there for months on end.
