Good afternoon all.  It is a cold, dreary, windy day here in Colorado, but at least it isn&#39;t snowing&#33;&#33;&#33;  I don&#39;t know if it is the same chain Joey, but I love Shoney&#39;s.  We don&#39;t have them here, but I twist Greg&#39;s arm to eat there anytime we are in Florida.  I know a lot of them have gone by the wayside, but the last time we were in Ft. Lauderdale which was about 2 1/2 yrs. ago, there was still one there, right next to the hotel we were staying in and I drug him over there for breakfast every morning.   We ate at Friendly&#39;s when we were in NY last year, and I have some kind of appetizer platter for my meal, and loved it so much, we went there 3 times while on that trip and I had the same thing every time.  Wish we had those here too.  All this talk about food is making me hungry - brisket, loaded baked potatoes, corn on the cob and mac and cheese for dinner...obviously, I am not going for the health food factor tonight.  3 weeks from today, I have my lasik surgery - I cannot wait&#33;&#33;&#33;  Since I was not leaving the house today, I didn&#39;t put my contacts in, so I am wearing my glasses and to read or work on the computer, I have to put reading glasses over my glasses - looks ridiculous but at least I can see.  Won&#39;t be long and I won&#39;t need any &quot;appliances&quot;&#33;&#33;&#33;  Well, guess I had better go frost that red velvet cake I baked earlier - hope you all have a great weekend...
