Last night, I had the best pot roast in my life at Ted’s Montana Grill. This chain was started by Ted Turner to provide an outlet for his bison meat. Jack had the Philly burger, and said it was very good.

I had met Jack for dinner after he finished work, so we could eat and run a few errands together. We went to the nearby Goodwill to look at their bikes. Since I enjoyed biking so much in Toronto, I decided I wanted to find a cheap bike to ride around here. I wanted Jack with me since he knows more about them. I found a woman’s bike for fifteen dollars that had flat tires, but otherwise looked as though it had never been used. Even if we have to replace the inner tubes, I think it will be a good deal.

We also found some cafe curtains for the kitchen. We have been talking about covering the kitchen window for ten years or more now. It faces east, and the morning sun blinds us in the winter time when the cottonwood tree outside the window loses its leaves.

It was a productive evening though I was a bit miffed this morning when I realized that I lost my cell phone. Both Jack and I heard a skittering noise as we got into the car at Home Depot, but couldn’t see anything in the dark parking lot. When I got home, I started to charge my phone, but couldn’t find it. I thought I had left it in the car, and didn’t realize until this morning that the skittering noise must have been the phone. I drove down there as soon as it was light this morning, but there were no signs of the phone where we had been parked, nor had anyone turned it in.

It is an obsolete model, five or six years old, with a flakey battery, which I have been thinking about replacing for a while now. It is amazing how cheap cell phones have become, like so many other consumer electronics.
