Richard: I feel like I need to get a little on the edge... I'll eat this nutrition bar that made for especially for women..its called Luna..
B-34...place yellow Romeo heart..N-22...place orange Tres Chic heart...I-13..no match...O-69...place white Cutie Pie heart. Little girl with leopard hat eeks out "Bingo" and wins what she can take from 600 old rekkids..oh well..clear the board of the little candy hearts and play again. This happening is in a former Giant Eagle turned community center, what looks like the remains of a Valentine's Day party occupy a few dimly lit tables. Tin servers with string bean bake, sweet potato casserole, two pierogis, rice/mushroom something and lots of bad heart shaped candies of all sorts. Next to the rather interesting food choices was a center volunteer popping fresh, free and very salty popcorn. Between Bingo games we had music from The Legion of the Incredibly Strange Superheroes(surf/new age band dressed in bad superhero costumes), The New Pussycats(Tom Jones cover band) and Zowie(surf and spy music). All in all a pretty odd night with dancing robots, free beer, food and coffee, bingo, bad music, fun people and scads of children kicking a soccer ball everwhere. As a final note: field agent Jo flawlessly completed her mission and retrieved the psychedelic egg for further study at HQ.----Last night at the Bingo A-Go-Go

Yesterday: The best part of the work day was our visit by Ajax, Julian and their human buddies. Ajax is a large black lab, and Julian is an equally large pittbull mix..simply wow..or should I say bowwow(sorry I couldn't pass that up). I saw their humans pacing outside wondering whether they should enter, I waved them in.. big smiles and wags. Wow again.. very happy, very inquisitive, very very pulling, very big, and very well behaved considering how huge these dogs are. Julian makes a petting friend with another customer, Ajax starts yelping and crying that he's being left out, the attention deficit is quickly remedied by Julians fan. Julian smells Polish donuts behind the counter and decides to investigate...leash operator saves Julian from big jelly donutface. Julian is one big lump-o-muscle, and luckily, a well demeanored dog, Humans decide on buying the Lord of the Rings RPG and then are dragged out by the heroes of this post. Promises were made that they will return as they(the human buddies) felt the poochies liked the store. Ajax and Julian are now my canine buds.
Today: Absolutely nothing to report, had to retroblog above because machine was on the fritz last night and I just had to mention my new buds.
