Who's a Fat Bastard - Lisa Andretti at the wheel.

February 27, 2015

     Having a lot of trouble getting started on this one. I was in a foul mood this morning. Move forward one hour. I'm over it. I was going to vent but then my daughter Jen and the Grandkids came by for a visit. The Grandkids were in and out of the house playing with the Matty out in the yard. Jen, the lovely Lisa and I sat in the living room and caught up. She's very busy at work and I only see her when she drops the Grandkids off for Papa Squatch Dayscare.

      One cup of drippy Joe and I was off to the green Room to do my workout. twenty sets of my floor exercises and 200 One Stair Steps and was in the shower. I had a wardrobe appointment at 11:30 at the studio. I had a yogurt and some fruit salad while the lovely Lisa made plans for lunch with Bro Steve and Lyndsy.

Yeah, right.

We left the house at 10:45 with Lisa Andretti at the wheel. We were sitting in front of the studio at 11:00. The lovely Lisa had some shopping to do for Mama Lee so we went to the Walmart off of Grandview in Vancouver. It's a couple of minutes from the studio.

      They are working out of the same studio as Jen and Chef Boy R Lisa's show. We went through security in a breeze. The Guards all know Chef Boy R Lisa. I was dropped off at Wardrobe. The fitting went fine. I could have picked the clothes out of my closet. Polo shirt and Khakis, I was there about thirty minutes. The lovely Lisa was waiting outside the doors and Jen was down the other end of the lot waiting for us. We had a quick visit, Jen is working and headed to Tentatsu to meet up with Bro Steve and Lyndsy.

Crab and Salmon roll

      We were at the restaurant first and took a booth for four and ordered a Crab/Salmon roll to hold us until they got here. They arrived minutes later just before the roll arrived. Timing is everything. Lyndsy is an eclectic personality who travels and makes art.

Lyndsy

She always has something interesting going on. We ordered way to much food.

The wild Salmon Sashimi was beautiful. The conversation ran from toothless Yorkies to North Van dump fees.

Bro Steve has a few gigs coming up and that's always a blast. On the way out we stopped in to the Polish Deli next door and the lovely Lisa bought some Chorizo and a Poppy Cake for tonight.

Tough lie!

      Then came the good part. Pitch and Putt at Rupert Park. It was another perfect winter day. There was just enough chill in the air to keep the tourists off the course. The Rat dogs think golf is the best game ever! I wish I could say I was tearing up the course and I started out great, but I was awful in the middle missing short putts all over the place.

We were tied at 8 skins apiece with three holes to play. I won all three including a birdie on eighteen. Final score 13/8. Another close match and revenge from last time when she kicked my butt.

      We came home the long way so the lovely Lisa could enjoy the Cherry Blossoms.

Through North Burnaby and over Burnaby Mountain. We stopped to see Mama Lee on our way home. She has been doing much better lately. Her voice exercises seem to be helping. She has become quite the Canucklehead never missing a game on TV and concerned about the price of tickets. I told her , "Join the club!" We stayed about twenty minutes then dropped her off in the TV room with Russel to watch the news.

Birthday Girl!

      We were going to go to Lea's birthday gathering in NewWest. An intimate dinner for six presented by the charming Aurora and Clayton the lovely Lisa and I were so happy to be a part of.  I love getting together with Lea and Mark, they make music.

After dinner we jammed for four hours straight. My fingers were killing me. Clayton sat in on Bass and Aurora sings beautifully while the lovely Lisa documented the Jam on film.

We had a great time and the lovely Lisa finally dragged me and my guitar home just after 11:00. Happy Birthday Lea. Thanks for letting us be a part of it.

That's all I've got

Till Next time

Peace out Y'all
