I’m getting psyched only two more days of work. Roe figured out why you get those feelings of anxiety about retiring. We look back on life and remember our parents retiring and now it is us, well like I wrote yesterday let us enjoy the benefits of our many years of labor. May we all share in good health, happiness, love and adventure.
Just checked the food holiday for today, it is one of my favorites, however a forbidden fruit for me now. How I hate to utter the words of this holiday for it is “NATIONAL CHILI DOG DAY.” A dog smothered with chili and chopped onions on a warm toasted bun with a side of baked beans truly a meal in itself. One of my fondest memories of dogs which does not include the chili variety was at Connie Mack Stadium in Philly. My dad and I loved watching those last place Phillies back in the late 1950‘s and early 1960’s and when that hot dog man came around I had to have one of those lukewarm dogs with a slap of yellow mustard on it. It was a taste you could not refuse.
Now-a-days there must be a variety of ways to dress up a chili dog, for me I like them the way I mentioned earlier for the rest of you Guys and Dolls have it your way. Thanks for stopping by, be careful out there and have a chili dog for me.

I never had a chili dog till perhaps soph year in high school and one of the fellows with a car let "the kids" tag along. Not a good sign when you hang our the the creep kid cause he has a car and no one else would hang out with him. Anyhow, he did know that place that was about the corner of Broad and Perry that was "Texas Wieners". They were near the forbidden "Garden Theater" that was rumored to show "Foreign Movies" and you didn't have to wait to see where "The Monitor" ranked their stuff since it was a given. That was the newspaper of The Diocese of Trenton and told you what movies you could see and still avoid hell or purgatory. My top dog back then was Hot Dog Johnny's in Buttzville on the way to the Poconos by "The Gap". Dash of mustard, chopped onion and a great slice of dill pickle. The other special thing that they served was root beer and (no Coke), ... buttermilk. So I bellied up to the "bar" and ordered up two dogs and a buttermilk. It had been 25 years. If you like liquid cream cheese?

Skip: Stewarts had a good chili dog, plus the root beer was always available. Never had a Texas Weiner and never listened to the ratings on the Monitor on movies.
