Odds & ends

Dear Coach Groh,

Please don’t screw this up for me.

PS:

  • I’m looking forward to being at the Clemson-UVA game, the first home game I will have attended this season.
  • A dinner last night at the highly regarded Restaurant Eve confirmed that I can glean every bit as much satisfaction from cheap wine and home grilled steaks as I can from wine and steak that cost 10 times as much. Hooray for my delightfully unsophisticated pallet!~ The upside for me was the crab fritters; they were quite tasty. The downside was the restroom. The urinals were so closely positioned near the bathroom door that the architect should have gone the extra fraction of a mile and had the urinals mounted on a glass wall overlooking the stairwell. It would also have been nice if the latch on the lone bathroom stall actually latched or if there had actually been towels of any kind in the restroom for the civilized among us to be able to dry our hands after washing them. That I have more to say about the restroom at this place than the food might suggest something about the overall unremarkable state of the food.
  • My new motto coming out of last night might be, “Jack Daniel’s tastes the same no matter how much I’m charged for it.”

Whatever else I was going to mention is now forgotten. Maybe I’ll remember later.

You needn’t have worried; Groh has pleased lots of opponents’ fans this year.
