Happy Birthday, Bro!


A Happy Birthday shout out to my big brother! We won't get nasty with ages and how he makes me sick that he still looks 21 and could still easily pass his PT from the Air Force. Sorry, I am starting to get nasty! :-)

Anyway, Happy Birthday, Bro!

Hope you enjoyed skiing!

Movie Review: "License to Wed"

I checked out "License to Wed" at the library last week because I enjoy Robin Williams, even though he has had several duds of movies. I enjoy his energy and humor.

This movie wasn't as bad as some of the critics make it out to be. It's the story of a newly engaged couple that begins pre-marital counseling with Reverend Frank (Robin Williams). He puts them through a pretty rigorous counseling curriculum to determine if they should get married. If they make it through the curriculum then he will marry them. Rev. Frank really heats things up, eavesdrops, and plants dissension between them. Then in the end when you think they aren't going to make it, they pull together and find each others strengths and weaknesses and how they can compliment one another.

While the premise of the movie is good, the living arrangements of the couple didn't meet my approval. The engaged couple is living together and very open about their likes and dislikes in the bedroom.

Welcome to Moe's!

I'm not one to offer restaurant reviews because I eat just about anything anywhere. Sometimes folks will rave about a restaurant that is so-so to me or I will rave about a restaurant that others don't prefer. However, I had to offer this review.

There is a food chain called "Moe's Southwest Grill" that I got around to trying. I saw a commercial on TV and thought it might be up my alley. I love Mexican and Southwest type of food...probably my favorite.

Oh my! This was some tasty good eats! They serve nachos, quesadillas, burritos and the like. I liken it to Southwest style Subway. You start with a base and then tell them what you want in your burrito, quesadilla, salad or whatever you pick. They have pico de gallo, guac, jalepenos, cilantro and more. They serve hot fresh chips and salsa with every order. You definitely got me there!

Moe's is that nice in-between restaurant between a low-end Taco Bell and higher end Chi-Chi's or Chevy's. The food is good and fresh and oh so tasty. I am drooling now! Moe's anyone?

NOTE: One thing I should mention I've noticed over the last year is that there is a difference between Mexican and Southwest. This was new to me. (I told you I wasn't gastronomique!) I probably prefer Southwest with all of its flavors but I will take fresh authentic Mexican any day too. (Where's A. Gallegos when I need her?!)
