January 31 - Deja Vu All Over Again

The 4's are off to The Burg this Sunday, and we'll be trying Scramble again, after last week's rainout. Weather forecast is looking dry at least. 

Rock on...

Sunday January 24 - Scramble

The 4's are heading to Daily Dose this Sunday, though right now the forecast does not look very promising. So if the skies somehow clear, the 3's will be off to Scramble in Sunnyslope.

Speaking of rain, there's a great app for your smartphone that shows live weather radar, and is great for tracking a storm. Check it out at myradar.com and download it for iOS and Android.

Sunday January 17 - Randy's


The 4's are heading to Country Boys at 32nd St. and Greenway

The suggestion was made this past weekend for the 3's to try Randy's. Sunday is promising to be a much nicer morning than last week, so maybe we can even sit outside. 

By the way, don't plan on riding on the ACDC canal path for the next month or so. It's all closed for the annual cleaning and grocery basket removal (thanks for spotting that in the paper, Eugene). 

At some point, you're all going to get annoyed by my inflicting music on you, but... I really like this song. See ya Sunday!

Sunday January 10 - The Henry

 

I've been wondering how much Sunday traffic that The Henry has, so let's try that this Sunday. Yes, I hear those groans from all of you "Up the Dreamy Draw?". Yes. Yes we will. So there. 

This song has been rolling around in my head the last couple days...
