The past several days have been rather routine.
We had another fierce storm on Wednesday, so dinner with Rob had to wait until Thursday. It was a fairly short evening. We went to a little Cajun place called "Louisiana Express". Most of the food there was good. The crawfish bisque, in particular, was a very pleasant surprise -- I don't think I'd ever tried crawfish before, and it's a very good seafood.
I went to Union Station yesterday to mail a package to one of my eBay winning bidders, have some breakfast, and finally catch up on all my newspapers (I had been several days behind all week). While I was having breakfast, a homeless man came up to me and asked me for a handout. I shook my head and quietly said "no", whereupon he called me a "f---ing faggot" and stormed off. Hey, pal, you're the one was intruding on me, not the other way around. I was quietly minding my own business, eating breakfast and reading my newspaper, when you interrupted me and asked me to give you money, even though I don't know you, then you curse me out for not wanting to be bothered? If anything, I should be annoyed at you, not the other way around. Talk about chutzpah, sheesh. Gotta love the human race.
Anyway. I got caught up on my newspapers and headed to the theater to see "S.W.A.T.", writing several letters while I was waiting for the movie to start. The film is so-so -- like "Freddy vs. Jason", it spends too much time on the set-up before actually getting to the story.
Must get back to sorting thru my inbox, then work on a letter to Denise. And, of course, I've got things to do around the house.
