Dinner Near Home

I took myself to dinner tonight after work.

After a year of constantly watching and counting 

every calorie, I wanted something more "homey," 

so took myself to the Union Jack Pub in Speedway.

The place has been there for years now, taking over 

the building from a bankrupt pizza joint.

It has begun to acquire a patina, I think, on the 

wood paneling, pictures, and auto racing memorabilia.

My meal did involve "comfort food," hot and tasty. 

I am glad to say, however, that I left a bit of my food

because I was no longer hungry; I didn't eat all

the potatoes or chicken, and didn't drink

all my beer. I did, however, eat every last morsel

of my chocolate brownie sundae.

That says a bit about what my addictions may be.

I was really attracted to the blue reflections

cast by the TVs and computer screens

onto the rows of beer mugs. The color contrasted

nicely with the amber light and wood paneling.
