I feel rested, somewhat.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nina and I went to Red Lobster last night. \u00a0I 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&#8217;s came with rice and asparagus.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">We&#8217;ll do that again.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">After dinner, we went to Denver Mattress to see what they had to offer. We&#8217;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.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mattress Firm started with prices for mattresses at around $7K and then cut their price in half because he &#8220;liked&#8221; us. I called them on that and it angered him. OK that part was fun.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Denver Mattress came in at a reasonable price, but then they offered me a 52&#8243; flat screen TV, and for an extra $300 they will bump that up to a 60&#8243; TV. On my next visit there I will begin my negotiations \u00a0with the TV and the deletion of it from the deal.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now I&#8217;m going to want a new TV soon, for my study that is, but a 52&#8243; or 60&#8243; 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&#8217;m pretty sure that I can get them to pay the sales tax. I do that all the time.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nina doesn&#8217;t want to go wheeling tomorrow. I may go alone or with Erin, if I pick her up on Sunday.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">I talked to Mom this morning and established that we&#8217;d be staying at Casa de Beppe, instead of Hotel Carl, for this visit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/the-glen-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1545818_394326217370497_866498124_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4746\" alt=\"1545818_394326217370497_866498124_n\" src=\"https:\/\/the-glen-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1545818_394326217370497_866498124_n.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-glen-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1545818_394326217370497_866498124_n.jpg 620w, https:\/\/the-glen-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1545818_394326217370497_866498124_n-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the-glen-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/1545818_394326217370497_866498124_n-300x187.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">I&#8217;m sorry, but I think you&#8217;re confusing your right to say stupid shit with me not having the right to make fun of it.<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John got here on time today.
