I've been coming back again and again to several songs recently. This is one of them. Blue, Red and Grey by my favorite band, The Who, is definitely out of character for most of their songs. But I'm so glad Pete Townsend wrote it.
Are there any songs you come back to over and over? Any you're really digging right now? Lay them on me!
This weekend I got a little fill up of much needed happiness in the form of Philly food. I am a native of the Philadelphia area. And there is no food like it in the world. I got my cheese steak (Provolone, not Velveta).
And I got a Zep. A zep is happiness on a kaiser roll. You can only get a zep in Norristown or Bridgeport, PA. And I feel sorry for all of my readers who have never experienced the taste bud carnival in your mouth that is a Zep. The picture doesn't do it justice. Believe me.
I also went to a great delicatessen that had it's own . . . wait for it . . .
Doot doo dood doooooo! (fanfare)
complimentary pickle bar. Which was a little slice of heaven on Earth.
Which brings me to the re-run.
Two years ago or so the family packed up the truckster and headed out to get some culture. We saw an exhibit of the Terracotta Warriors on tour from China. We were very classy for most of the the day. But then, we stopped at a Roy Rogers restaurant, and I explained why I would always consider it a five star establishment, regardless that it is a fast food joint. I stand by my rating.
To those of you still hanging around here at Tongue in Cheek during this crazy month where I've been absent due to family medical emergencies - I thank you. And how do I thank you? With re-runs.
Sorry it couldn't be in bail bonds, but I may just need them for myself later.
So I'm starting my summer re-runs a little early this year.
For those of my readers who are easily offended or have squeamish constitutions, probably best to skip this one. For the rest of you hard core Tongue-In-Cheekers - Enjoy and rock on!
The oldest Urchin is out of the woods - mostly. Trying to keep a very active seven year old under wraps at the start of her summer vacation is a bit exhausting, let alone time consuming.
Barely controlled chaos about sums it up here at Chez Quinn. How are things in your neck of the woods?
