Joel and I give notice... Scoundrels!

This evening, Joel and I returned to our usual pizza place and gave notice that, due to Joel's new employment requirements, we'll no longer be needing our regular table on Wednesday nights. Our long time server was disappointed but also appreciated knowing that it wasn't about the service. She added that proper communication and training would be provided to the Tuesday night servers so that we could continue to enjoy our dining experience in the manner of which we've become accustomed.

After pizza, we headed over to see the cinematic offerings and were pleased to find School For Scoundrels, a pretty light hearted story about a collection of men with low self esteem and the rascal who promises to show them how to claim their fair share in the modern day jungle of urban life. It's not too hard to see where this is likely to go; the leader of the group is himself a scoundrel, preying on those weaker than himself. Of course, when the class realizes their leader isn't all he's cracked up to be, there's justice to be served. While somewhat predictable, it was still entertaining.

After the movie, Joel and I headed back to see if Marlene was still up for some conversation. Fortunately, she was and we had a nice chat. She did, however, rightly point out a grammatical error in my conversation and that this blog is not really about what I'm doing now, rather, what I've done recently and chosen to share. For any of the rest of you who noticed that there wasn't an entry for Tuesday evening, it's because I really didn't do much to talk about Tuesday evening. I don't think that the Dale version of EDtv is what y'all are tuning in for. If you are, go outside and enjoy the arrival of Autumn; it may not be here long.
