Oboes, Italy, Key Lime, Scotch Tape, and Cheap Gas. Meh.

Well, given the underwhelming response to my last post, I guess it's obvious that I'm the only one who cares for Schubert. Oh, well... Lint Monkey has a great song accompanying her latest juggling video. Nice oboes. Of course, some thundering horns and pounding timpanis would make it even better.... ;-) I took my main squeeze out on a date tonight to a Mexican restaurant in Verona. Funny how our Mexican restaurant is in a town named after an Italian city. You know how lots of restaurants give out little peppermints with the check? This place gives out little round green mints, but instead of mint, they are flavored "Key Lime Pie". Sour. I guess variety is the spice of life. I saved some money by having a Dr. Pepper instead of my usual Jarritos Strawberry Banana Kiwi. Afterwards, we were looking for something romantic to do together, so we went for a nice relaxing stroll through Staples. I bought her some cute little magnets she wanted -- and some rolls of Scotch tape. Oh, and an electric pencil sharpener for the Staunton Branch building library. I like making her smile. Gas is down to $1.87 per gallon. And still dropping. Hope the airlines can make some money while it lasts. (And you probably thought the cheap gas had to do with the Mexican restaurant, eh?) Did you see where the word "meh" has officially been added to the dictionary?
