My travel yesterday was mostly good. My flight to Denver was uneventful. And passed quickly, even though I couldn’t get the airplane movie system to work in my phone.

At the Denver airport, I saw an empanada place. Mmm… I like empanadas… I decided to get a ham and cheese one. It was like a Hot Pocket.

While I was eating, I admired my newly-polished shoes. I had stopped by the shoe shine stand.

Next, I got a donut. I really shouldn’t eat donuts, but they’re so delicious.

The walk to my next gate was a far one. It was quite enjoyable. I like waking and people-watching.

My flight to Lincoln was difficult. Lots of turbulence, and the airplane was HOT. I thought I was going to be sick.

Fortunately, I made it without throwing up. And fortunately, I cooled down once I sat in the airport for a bit. Because I went with family to The Outlaw Steakhouse in Garland.

Nebraska beef! Yum!

When I chatted with the people across from me at our church’s music ministry dinner, they mentioned that they were from Carson, which is near where I live. They recommended a restaurant called “Back Home in Lahaina”. I went there last night.

It was so fun. It really seemed like a restaurant in Maui – the food, the decorations, the music… It was also a little sad. There was a mural of Front Street on the wall:

I got fish, it was delicious. I had to chuckle a little at the salad. I had this at many potlucks. People in Maui called it “Chinese salad”. It’s cabbage, with vinaigrette dressing, sesame seeds, and uncooked ramen noodles.

It was good food and a fun experience. I will definitely go back.

I went to Chick-fil-a yesterday, and, wanting to mix things up a little, I got a grilled chicken sandwich. I’ve had one before, and I like them, but I don’t like the bun they use for them, so I asked the order-taker if I could have the regular bun. And she said: “The white bun?”

I said: “Yes, the regular one. The one without the grooves on it. The one from the regular chicken sandwich.” I think I repeated myself again before paying and driving forward.

Afterward, I was thinking how much I must’ve sounded like an old man. She was using the hip, young-person lingo to talk about my order, and I was talking about grooves.

Ah well, at least I got what I wanted.

It was tasty.

I had my first cherries of the summer yesterday. Wait… are cherries a summer fruit, or did these come from Argentina? Whatever the case, they were good cherries. I ate a LOT of them.

If I wasn’t so lazy, I’d eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. It’s just such a hassle to go buy them, and wash them, and eat them before they spoil. I can buy six boxes of mac and cheese that can sit in my cupboard for months and still be good. I need a fruit butler to get me fruit and have it ready for me. Is there such a thing as a fruit butler? I would hire one if there were.

I was craving fish last night, and I wanted something nice, so I went to a sit-down restaurant. I had been there before, and liked the vibe and the food.

I got some rockfish. It was delicious.

I was soooo full afterward. I drove home, and went to bed. aahhhh…
