I had a couple of burgers in the past few days that were OK, but not that great. The burger patties at the Mad Greek and Helvetia Tavern are probably from Sysco. I’m really unimpressed with Helvetia but I have reasons other than the burger for my loyalty to the Mad Greek. In fact, my Yorgo Burger at the Mad Greek was free because of their Tuesday Facebook giveaway. I was feeling the burger in my gut all day. Today I had my favorite thin-patty diner burger at Skyline Burger with fries, and a chocolate malt. Somehow that combination is hard to beat.

I forgot that Easter is a big deal for some people. Skyline Burgers was open, but there weren’t many people there, maybe three tables. When I took my mom out for dinner, both Portland Brewing and Justa Pasta were closed. Widmer Gasthaus was open and is probably a bit better food than Portland Brewing. The Gasthaus is usually pretty crowded, but wasn’t tonight.

I was just going to watch Life of Brian for Easter but I lent my copy to my brother-in-law, so I watched TV instead. I’m still not caught up from last week’s TV. Plus, that pile of books is still sitting there taunting me. I had to finish at least the library book that’s due this week. Stupid deadlines.

That’s pretty much the idea, but yesterday I was at a birthday dance party and quite sober but tonight I’m watching TV and movies and drinking. I must say that this Maestro Dobel Diamond that they’ve started to sell in Oregon is quite nice. Today I had to drive THMFIC to a submission wrestling tournament and I figured I’d better not be hung over in a room overfull of testosterone and lack of sense. I had a good time at both, surprisingly, standing in the corner at the party and at the tournament. Turns out it’s better to stay out of the way in a lot of places. At the party I could have met some dangerous nurses. In the tournament I might have made some friends who wanted help taking the wheels off of their houses. A dull life, but the life I’m used to.
