Today's Recommendations1. Monba in the Derby. Don't ask me why, I didn't do any handicapping. By the way, I am putting a $21 win bet on Bob Black Jack, but he's going from unlucky post #13, so I'm expecting to flush that down the toilet.
2. Don't miss
Otis getting busted by the girl who took his virginity an old ex-girlfriend on his very own blog. I can't chalk this up as a schadenfreude moment, as I'm confident a similar comment by mine would go something like, "blah blah blah you're lucky I was drunk, blah blah blah never again in a Ford Tempo, blah blah blah."
3. Palermo brand frozen pizzas. They're (apparently) a Milwaukee institution, and I strongly endorse their interstate trade with Pennsylvania that puts them in my grocer's freezer case.
4. Lastly, I highly recommend calling my building's assistant superintendent to check behind and under your oven for mouse nests. Terrific body + tight jeans + willingness to get down on all fours and strain to reach the far corners underneath = an enjoyable five minutes for me.
In case you're curious, the rodent death toll stands at SEVEN since January. That's two via glue traps, one caught in a spring trap, and four dead carcasses poisoned by the bait traps lying about my house.
Also, thanks to everyone who let me kvetch about my dog this week. He went in for surgery Thursday to get a growth under his eyelid removed, and is seemingly back to 100% today. The vet was pretty worried at first, as the thing was dangling from about 2 cm back underneath his eyelid (it looked like a dangling booger), and she hadn't seen anything that odd before. That being said, she was encouraged that she cut it off more than cut it out, meaning the thing was more superficial than embedded. Obviously a good thing. I should get the biopsy results next week, but I'm optimistic - which you know isn't usually how I roll. So thanks again guys.
