This past week did have
some different things to talk about. Monday the 8th I
visited a new bar/restaurant devoted to selling microbrewery beers.
It was actually online advertising which told me that a new location
of the Growler USA chain just opened in the city I live in. Yeah, you
can have beers in large growlers but they also have regular glasses
that at least are normal-sized. I could nitpick a few things... to be
positive, the food was good and I can't complain about the
interesting selection or the two beers I had. Tuesday, I had to go to
a nearby town on what I'll call “official business” and that went
fine; after that I stopped at Walmart to get a few items.
Tuesday evening, I saw
parts of a niche sport's game on TV and saw all of another niche
sport. A few minutes of a college lacrosse contest were viewed by me
but the main event was a rugby game... a rugby league game, to be
exact; I know there are differences between rugby league and rugby
union. I had seen bits and pieces of prior contests but I figured it
was time to see one from beginning to end. It was in the Australian
league and the game was between the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles and
the South Sydney Rabbitohs; it wasn't until just recently that I
discovered what a rabbitoh even is: an Australian who sells rabbits
as food! Yikes. And Russell Crowe is a minority owner of the team.
Anyhow, the game was exciting and it even went into their version of
sudden overtime-the Sea Eagles were the winners.
Wednesday I did nothing
but Thursday was more interesting. I returned to Disney, Epcot in
particular. The tier of the annual pass that I have has some blacked
out dates, including around Easter. That is fine with me as the
blacked out dates are busy holiday days anyhow so I wouldn't want to
be around there. Friday the 12th was the last day for two
weeks that I could go there and I wanted to experience the newest
rendition of their International Flower & Garden Festival. As
typical, there was nice scenery around and there were various food
stands around so that was my dinner. As mentioned a plethora of times
before, those stands also sell alcohol and plenty of people love
getting hammered at Disney, even if it's a rather expensive way to
get sloshed. Surprisingly, even though it was crowded
Friday through Sunday, I
did go to various stores (including grocery) and I will not go into
great detail here except to say that Sunday I did some things and
went to some places I hadn't been to in years. I imagine some haters
(who for some reason enjoy reading what I write each week despite
their proclamations that they don't like me) will come up with not
nice ideas as to what I am referring to here... no it is not that. I
was out in public Sunday afternoon when Tiger Woods pulled off the
incredible moment of winning The Masters. Him having all those
mistresses back in the day turned off a lot of people-to me, he was
just a typical celebrity-but I was shocked he won as his preceding
decade was so rotten no one could have predicted he would win the
most famous and legendary golf tournament for the first time in 14
years... people were watching the event on their phones and they were
quite ecstatic when he won. Things did not go exactly as planned on
Sunday (honestly, that is looking to be my mantra for 2019 even if I
preferred it wouldn't be) yet I cannot complain overall.
When I return a week from
today, as of now not too much is planned; I am at least happy I can
relax on this Monday.
