The bad news is the temperature is only 8 degrees and the wind is blowing at 25 to 35 miles per hour. Including the wind chill, it feels like -15 or so.
On the bright side, the temperature was 6 degrees an hour ago, so it is rising- a little!
I had this past Friday off and Kevin and the two-Kathys met me at Louis' Lunch in New Haven- the supposed inventor of the hamburger. Their website says that in 1900 a customer came in looking for a quick meal he could eat for lunch on the run. Louis Lassen, the luncheonette's owner, broiled a beef patty which he put between two slices of bread and sent him off with it.The first hamburger was served.
Today, Louis' grandson runs the business where the burgers are broiled vertically in the original cast iron grill.
So we arrived at Louis' Lunch a few minutes before they opened and there were about 10 or 12 people already waiting outside. And let me tell you, the place is tiny! We had to stand outside for about 10 minutes after they opened before we could even get inside to wait in line.We did find seats once we ordered (4 cheeseburgers with "the works" and 4 birch beers). I liked the guy behind the counter because he was wearing a Mariano Rivera shirt, but he acted like he was once tiny step away from tossing out anyone who wasn't abiding by his rules- kind of soup-nazi-ish.
The cheeseburgers finally arrived but they were gone too fast. If I were to rate the burger, I would put it one notch below the steamed cheeseburgers at Ted's Restaurant. The whole Louis' Lunch experience is great, however. It's noisy with lots of bantering back and forth between the customers and the people behind the counter and, did I mention it's small? You can hear it all.From there I went to Ikea and then met everyone at Archie Moore's for wings. I must have been off my game Friday because I could only eat about 10 wings. That was kind of a let down, but they are still the best wings in the world.
Speaking of being "off my game," I only counted about 10 "I"s in this post. I say this because a co-worker of mine tells me I'm only concerned with myself and that everything always has to be about me!
Well, Jayne, just so you know, I want this CD set for my birthday:
And, by the way, the temperature is still rocketing up- it's 10 degrees now!

good day people. I'm honestly into shoes and I had been searching as far as something that exact brand. The prices seeking the velcros were about 190 pounds everwhere. But definitively I bring about this area selling them for half price. I exceptionally like those [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url].
