A few awards will be presented at the banquet Saturday. I receive the award information in advance so I can write introductions for the presenter. The packet came to me today, and I was thrilled to see that Eve will receive the spirit award. It usually goes to those who organize large events—charity drives, golf tournaments, etc.— but the smaller pick-me-up activities that Eve puts together throughout the year do a great deal for morale and team building, and that’s been especially important this year when so many are worried about budget reductions. I’m glad it’s happening this year since Paul will be at the dinner (last year he was working out of town), and Blaine will too.
After work I went to Mica’s. She was in the mood for something different and wanted to try the pizza at a bar that’s in a part of town we usually avoid. Someone told her the Hawaiian pizza there was particularly good...
The place has been around for decades. It’s an old beer joint that caters to pool and dart leagues now. When we arrived “Wheel of Fortune” was on the TVs, there were a couple of guys at the bar and a couple more at a table. After awhile it felt like a sitcom living room with characters coming and going. No one paid any attention to the two strangers who didn’t fit in.
The pizza wasn’t bad. I liked the crust. Neither of us cared for the sauce. Mica didn’t think there was enough pineapple.
Overall, it was a nice change of pace.
As soon as I post this I have to look for a bra that will work with the dress I’d like to wear to the banquet. All of a sudden it’s a good thing I’m a clothing pack rat.
