Last night was wing night at The Arrow and The Loon. This
place has become a local haunt for me as it's never too busy
and a quick leap from Ecclesiax. I have been there for quite
a few quiet lunches and the owner has been cool enough
to give me (and other Ecclesiax folks) a discount. Sarah, my
bro and a few other friends came out last night and everyone
was satisfied...with the exception of The 'Dox. His mild
wings were slathered in a ketchuppy/bbq sauce that
was very thick and sloppy. Murphy's Law. The best
wings you can order at A&L are (in my humble opinion)
the hot variety. The sauce is there but not overpowering.
They are also a few steps down from suicide so there's
not much risk of indigestion. Unfortunately for Adam,
if he has even the slightest tinge of a jalapeno fall into
his food, he is chained to the can for days.
Sorry Dox - come again and go for medium or cajun-
dusted.
Afterwards, a few of us walked to the canal to get a
beavertail (an obvious post-wing dessert choice). We
were all talking about the 'Obama tail' and how his
impending visit seems to be such a massive ordeal and
that everyone is so wrapped up in the 6 hr visitation of
another person. Sure - he is another person with
armed guards, an entire secret service, a private
airline system and an armoured car that is coming with
him...but he is still a human being.
On another note, I may be driving my dad to the
airport tomorrow morning at 4:30 am for the very
same reason of Obama's visit - taxis and everything
else may be pretty tightly-squeezed. Good times.
Anyone want to pull an all-nighter?
