Only got to see 3 quarters of the Eagles - Falcons, but it was obvious I had it right and the outcome was stamped 10 minutes into the 1st quarter. Then Dana came over and we went to Fellini's, which is not a bowling alley but a coffee shop! They have a nice big HD screen and it seems that they show DVD's of some pretty interesting foreign films for FREE! Dana and I will go see a few.
It was a closed invitation only party, so we were greeted at the door by a fat Lab wearing a bandana. Ethel, my dog, and the Lab started playing right away. The Lab was the owner Pete's dog. It was an interesting crowd, only about 50 people but it was nifty. I liked that there wasn't much alcohol flowing freely. You could bring your own but none was served. I had TWO cafe au lait's with skim milk. And there was food. I had rumaki (Dumped the bacon first) some cellophane noodles with mushrooms, and there were great free foods, crudites for me and fried chicken balls and unbreaded chicken strips for the dogs. Everytime Ethel ate something I got the old desperate “What other delicious treat have you been hiding from me?" look. I thought the New England - Pittsburgh game was very beautiful even if it went the way I thought it would. There were moments of incredible beauty. The crowd at Fellini's was appreciative of some of it but when NE got 2 TD's up they started to wander. At our table it was a draw between Ethel and Dana as to who covered up their boredom the best. At least for Ethel there were 4 other dogs and when they got to playing she would jump in gamely. Then she would come running to me so I could see her do something I couldn't figure out.
For everything the cost was less than I had so I felt pretty good.
I met a lot of people and was most surprised by how many gothed out chicks were there with pretty normal looking guys. Still, think I made a couple of friends male and female. The owner invited Ethel and I back for the SuperBowl which he said will be pretty much the same, maybe a few more people. I told him I liked his coffee and he gave me one to go for free. I like free. And he gave Ethel a huge chicken strip which she carried all the way home! Again a boring day that I found quite lovely. Anytime nothing bad happens to me I feel good and happy. Of course Ethel explains it as “Of course you is happy cos I am your dog!" Dogs hoave horrible grammar. Dana was nice company. I was surprised only by how many people she told about me, and by the number who knew of me as a coach. They all seemed nice, as nice as I assume they are. I never knew there'd be an artsy crowd here. I like that there is. In a smaller way it reminded me of Gorky's in downtown LA, before it got popular and was just a nice place to hang out.
