Yippee!

The day after eating at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Loni had the salmon with spicy sauce, but I ate the sauce. I had the filet mignon with shrimp. USDA Prime beef. They sear it at 1800 degrees and then lay it on a 500 degree plate in butter and sprinkle salt and pepper on it. That's all. Yum. Cut it with a fork. Really. And Loni ordered crab stuffed mushroom caps for an appetizer. Oh. Good choice, Lonners. Dessert was creme caramel with in season fruit, which meant strawberry, pineapple, and kiwi (if you are with Loni those are inkywinks). So good together.

Even the water and ginger ale were great.








Here is Loni, looking almost as beautiful as she does in real life.


One funny thing happened.

Our serving team with Thom at the head was outstanding. He oversaw the whole operations. He had people pouring water for us, getting bread, taking away plates, brining things, etc. I had made reservations, walked in ten minutes early, they seated us right away. Thom walks up and in Kurt Bockoven's voice, with a shaved bald head, said, "How are the Boyds?" He had a goatee, but that was the only difference between he and Kurt. I tested him by teasing him about something and he shot right back at me in Kurt's high pitched smart alecky voice. Perfect.

Later, he asked if were were going to see a movie later and we said we were going to see Inception for the second time. Then he said, "You know, I have not been to a movie theater in years. My roommate always downloads movies so we watch them at home."

I was a little taken aback, especially with the goatee. I thought, "Maybe he is just the evil, gay Kurt...." Then the thought hit me, "No. KURT is the evil, straight Thom."

Oh, yeah. I can see that.




Here is Loni's Grandpa....

Rode 9 miles to take off absolutely no weight from last night, for a total of 2,482 from home. Wish I really were in the middle of the Custer National Forest.
