"Catcher in the Rye" author J.D. Salinger has died at age 91 in New Hampshire. I always enjoyed hanging out with Holden Caulfield for a couple days every few years.
The first meeting of The Happy Mouth Supper Club for 2010 was a success! It was Angel’s month to select, and her original selection was Arthur’s in Hyde Park Square. However, Arthur’s does not accept reservations. Angel’s plan to arrive early and get seats was foiled, though, when it was revealed that it would be at least a 90 minute wait for a party of our size.
Instead, we ended up at The Echo (right next door to Arthur’s) for diner-style food and much fun. It was a large, animated group – widely agreed to be one of the most enjoyable Happy Mouth meetings of the last several months.
After tucking into comfortable, well-prepared food like my turkey breast over stuffing with cranberry sauce (“cut from a real turkey!,” observed Carrie) or Wendy’s build-your-own omelet, we walked down to Graeters to put a sweet ending on the evening.
Tracy observed that her next selection will be her ninth for Happy Mouth! Wow! It’s been a fun lot of years!
Happy Birthday, Elvis Presley! You were born on today’s date in 1935 in Tupelo Mississippi, and died suddenly on August 16, 1977 at the age of 42. Between those dates, you made music, made 31 movies, made women swoon, and made history. Some say you…
Happy 2010, everyone! On December 30, 2009, Wendy & I were enjoying a day puttering around, doing errands, chores, and the like. I had to run out to Kroger to pick up some items, and Wendy suggested I pick up a couple sandwiches for lunch.…
To the loyal readers of this site… Thank you for your support, and please accept my best wishes for 2010.
As someone dear to me says at each new year, “let’s hope that this year is better than the last”!
Ed’s month to pick, so December 2009 was spent at Walt’s Barbecue. I really enjoy BBQ, and Walt’s does a great job. It is a very family-friendly place with plenty of affordable options for kids and adults alike.
