$27 nachos sounds like something you order for a table, not for lunch.

Honestly, I think that $27 nachos is probably some overpriced foodie BS, like "Waygu strips with artisanal aged cheddar cheese sauce on truffled corn triangles," when I want ground beef, Velveeta, and super salty chips in the bargain bag size.

That makes sense with the rest of their menu (ETA the for the table thing. They don't look like artisanal handcrafted with pricey ingredients frou frou although that is definitely a thing I could run into around here)

Oh, my God...for $27 at Filibertos, I bet I could poison myself. With abundance, I mean. Not that, since I brought up Denis Leary, I've made any plans. sj, I can relate to it getting more complicated as I get older, not less, as I might have expected. I really thought that--it happens for some people who totally find their niche and their tribe and all that-- but also, abled white people, with whom I've spent so much of my time, get really stuck on playground exclusion being The Worst in a way that doesn't ring true for me, personally. The kids weren't that hard on me, but they did see me as way different than them. But here's the thing: At that point, I did too. Also, it's easier for your mother to get you to believe they're jealous of your spicy brains when you're actually eight. Instead of twenty-eight or thirty-eight. Being happy for your friends as a putative adult is WAY harder than being "spaz" to some booger-eater you'll never see again. Especially since, as I said, the world is primed to hear that story in a way it never wants to hear my shit again and wants to kiss it better. Sorry that it makes mothering harder, though. Last thing you need.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ugh. Doing the funeral planning is stressing me a little bit.
My MiL is coming down for Matilda and Emmett's birthdays (and a trade show) so she'll be here all next week.
And then it looks like the Funeral itself will be on October 16th, which is a Monday. And it can't be before then because the Pastor is going to be in Germany with her ailing mother.
And I'm meeting with the Pastor and scheduler tomorrow to see about the time. Which is complicated if we want a reception afterwards because they have nightly AA meetings of various flavors.

I haven’t been able to get to a place with nachos. So I bought nacho cheese while I was picking up my medication for my colonoscopy. Tomorrow I have to fast. So today I’m having chips and cheese.

Can you do the reception elsewhere?

I could but I absolutely don't want to because that would be extended time with extended cousin side of the family and I'm going to be gritting my teeth the whole time and itching to get the fuck out of there.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That is so many delicious taquitos.
Even in San Diego, the Filiberto's weren't as good as the ones in Phoenix.

The synagogue I belonged to before it moved out of Fairfield met in a church that also had AA meetings and so forth in the same room. Did make for interesting calendaring.
I might be able to come on the 16th, David. I took the day off for jaunting off to see the annular eclipse, but I might be back by then
