Actually is there is no ugly in regards to this post.
Last night we finally were able to venture out for my birthday dinner. We decided on a venue I have been wanting to visit for quite awhile now. Liz is a little more reticent to go to new places so I had to throw the birthday card (I won’t say rump card) to get her to go.

Even though I am still a huge fan, I have not been able to afford any of the current up to date “fashion” so I just went with a simple sweater, jeans and knee high boots.
I will finish my plug for the venue by saying it has been visited by Guy of “Diners, Drive ins and Dives” Food Network fame and I had the same half pound burger which he did. Well, not the same one but made the same.
