When I come back from San Francisco, I need to find a good groomer to help take care of Pisces.
It's so hard! I worry about my dog particularly now because he is elderly and blind but it's always been a hassle. I found this place, which is a tiny independently owned petshop, by calling the pet shop in my neighborhood that doesn't have a groomer on staff. The lady who owns my neighborhood petshop was commisserating about how terrible so many groomers are. but she said this place had been recommended to her by many customers. Evidently they don't advertise because the money they would use to do that goes to taking care of rescue animal vet bills.
A story about a guy who wanted to be a hitman. So he created a website to advertise his services. The whole story just gets wackier and wackier....
The funniest thing I've read in ages.

It sounds like a joke. But the
Las Vegas Sun
says it's real: Would-be Vegas hitman’s story ends in Irish jail
If Eid really fancied himself a hit man, he was a lousy one. He never came close to killing anybody. In fact, his whole strategy was not to kill the intended target, but to let him in on the plan, to tell whomever he’d been hired to kill all about it, and then generously give him the opportunity to buy out the bounty on his life. Whether this was Eid’s cowardice or cleverness is unclear.

Fucking hell, this is on my commute and 5 minutes from home: [link]
Good thing I had to be here for a 9:30 meeting.
eta: proximity to home doesn't creep me out as the fact I drive through there everyday.

Damn!
Yay! for meetings, I guess....
Scary stuff, sarameg! Yikes, drive-by shooting scare me.
There was an accident on the main road outside my apartment complex last night, which must have happened about 15-20 minutes before I got there. I started thinking "What if?" which isn't a good thing mentally.
ION, I just remembered that, with my dad coming up on Sunday, I can finally treat him to the long-promised fancy steakhouse dinner for his birthday/Father's Day gift this year (I've offered him the dinner in previous years, but could never afford it). I'm going to take him to Tramonto's in Wheeling, which is the place that was featured in the final Chicago episode of Top Chef. In addition to the top-notch steaks, the desserts there are supposed to be superb (Gale Gand is the dessert culinary genius in the Chicago area, and she's the other name chef at this place in addition to Tramonto himself.)
I was thinking about taking him to Pete Miller's instead, but Tramonto's is a bit less formal ("upscale casual" is how Zagat's lists its dresscode), if no less pricey. (The great thing about living in the Wheeling area is that there are at least five different highly-rated steakhouses within ten miles of my apartment.)
Ack, indeed. Best a.m. meeting ever.
Let us all endeavour to be early always from now on.
I am so still sleepy. Forgot to drink the tea while hot, and it's untemptingly warm. Forgot to eat the ice while very cold, and it's untemptingly clumped. I am Goldilocks and the three bears with a touch of the Princess and the pea.

Ooh!!! Can't wait to hear the report!
