I will gladly pay you next Tuesday...

for a double-bacon-cheeseburger today.

After packing lunches and limiting my fast food outings to chicken or fish during Lent & Holy Weeks, and after contemplation, confession and communion, I'm indulging myself in the Post-Lenten, Post-Easter, Post-Apocalyptic Solo Burger Bash. A (good) burger a day for seven days, with pictures to prove it.

McD's & BK need not apply.

For the record, Paul Hunter got me onto this idea, he was doing the same thing in the days around Easter. Paul, I have some catching-up to do.

He was going for size. I'm going for all the gooey goodness.

Day one was Five Guys Germantown. On the docket: Red Robin (maybe), Greene Turtle, Glory Days Grille, Clyde's, and the Germantown Inn - if they're not closed for the season - for a Roethlisburger.

Two that I long for...Hardee's thickburger (none near here), and In-n-Out (west coast).

So Long Classic Rock 94.7 - We Hardly Knew Ye.

I turned on the car radio (who listens to *that* anymore), and Albie & Cerphe were jammin' like they OWNED the place. Really a fun, interesting set, most days this week. Turns out the station is changing formats, to something called "Fresh fm" whatever that is.

At least 94.7 went down with a bang. Not the whimper that their boring, restrictive playlist had become. When they name artist X - say the Stones, and you know which one of the five songs on the Stones rotation they're going to play, it's death the the station.

Radio sucks in Washington. Now it just sucks harder.

Peace of Mind - 2009 reprise

So you fell down from the your perch on the Corporate Ladder
Hope you didn't hurt your bum!
But you didn't have to take down the economy with ya
Now don't you feel kinda dumb....yeah yeah yeah
I understand about Deregulation
The riches, the glory would you stand in line
Only to spend your day in consternation?
No thanks buddy, I'll have my peace of mind...
