Back Home Again

So, I'm back home in Ohio now. Not too much to tell yet. Work is slow, but that's restaurant business for you I suppose. We're getting into the off season, but hopefully having a new soup of the day and a couple new beers and dishes will draw people in.

I do have some hours at the theater in town, the Strand, this Sunday. I'm so excited! I LOVE the Strand, and I'm excited to be officially working there for an evening.

My mom came to visit me for Halloween! We explored the antique shops in town and bought a few little treasures that we found. I do love to walk around the antique stores, and having my mom there made it even better. She noticed some items I hadn't before, and I showed her a few things I thought she'd like.
There weren't many trick-or-treaters unfortunately. Either that, or we just weren't on the right block. Nevertheless, mom and I sat on my stoop with a bowl of colorful candy, a freshly carved pumpkin glowing at our feet, and steaming cups of hot cocoa in our hands. At 7:00, we decided to get ready to go to the Strand for the 7:30 showing of Secretariat. What a good movie! I think that Seabiscuit is still my favorite race horse movie, but Secretariat was a close second. Seabiscuit won by a nose.

Another update: I now have internet in the apartment! Perhaps I will finally be able to blog more often now....perhaps....
