The Red Brick Times

Shining example of the current Ohio economic recession that I am, I do my best to save a few bucks here and there. Cooking at home and preplaning all grocery shopping (have a list! do not deviate!) saves a lot. Once in a great while, and only with a good coupon mind you, I'll order something out. Last night was one of those times. Large pizza, 3 toppings. $9.99. I get there (Marco's) and the girl actually lifts the lid to check my order (nice touch). She sees that they got one of the toppings wrong. Horrors! Banana peppers instead of mushrooms! Now I happen to like banana peppers and was about to say "Ah, fuck it, that's ok", but before I could she apologized, told me they'd have another large with proper toppings ready in a few minutes, and I could have both for free. Both? For free? Talk about making an unemployed guys day.

And you didn't call us to have a party? I just got back from a week at a primo "Work and Breakfast" establishment in Painesville. Three squares a day and all the soffits and fascias that I could install. I was working at Betsy's parents' house, and they put me up for the duration. Except for the rain dripping from the eaves and down my neck, and the head cold, I had a real good time.
