• John got here on time today.
• I slept in until 4 this morning. I feel rested, somewhat.
• Nina and I went to Red Lobster last night.  I saw a RL commercial on TV the other night and decided that was the Friday night dinner spot for this week. We both had a very nice dinner and the portions were huge. I had the Bar Harbor Lobster Bake and Nina had the salmon. Mine had lobster, mussels, shrimp, and scallops on a bed of pasta. Nina’s came with rice and asparagus.
• We’ll do that again.
• After dinner, we went to Denver Mattress to see what they had to offer. We’ve been to Mattress Firm already and I hated the high pressure salesman there. While I usually enjoy screwing with salespeople, this guy was no fun.
• Mattress Firm started with prices for mattresses at around $7K and then cut their price in half because he “liked” us. I called them on that and it angered him. OK that part was fun.
• Denver Mattress came in at a reasonable price, but then they offered me a 52″ flat screen TV, and for an extra $300 they will bump that up to a 60″ TV. On my next visit there I will begin my negotiations  with the TV and the deletion of it from the deal.
• Now I’m going to want a new TV soon, for my study that is, but a 52″ or 60″ is far too large for what I need or want for that room. I need to see what I can get from them and how much I can save. I’m pretty sure that I can get them to pay the sales tax. I do that all the time.
• Nina doesn’t want to go wheeling tomorrow. I may go alone or with Erin, if I pick her up on Sunday.
• I talked to Mom this morning and established that we’d be staying at Casa de Beppe, instead of Hotel Carl, for this visit.

I’m sorry, but I think you’re confusing your right to say stupid shit with me not having the right to make fun of it.
