LUNCH @ ROMANO'S

   I ate lunch today at one of my favorite places, Romano's.  My best friend Ruth and I go there occasionally to eat lunch.  It's probably her all-time favorite restaurant.

  We had spaghetti and pizza today.  Their pizza is fantastic and the slices are huge.  Their Friday special is two slices of pizza and a drink for $6.95.  You may say, "Just two slices of pizza?"  Yeah, but their TWO SLICES is like a whole pizza.  I sorta wish that I'd taken the picture BEFORE I started eating, but then I was pretty hungry today.  So one-and-a-half slices were gone before the thought occurred to me to document our lunch.
  
  Here's what my friend had : spaghetti.  She loves the spaghetti and also the baked ziti and chicken parmesan.  I highly recommend this place to anyone living in the Salisbury, NC area, or when passing through.  We are on I-85 between Washington, D.C. and Atlanta, halfway between Charlotte and Greensboro.

  If you love Italian food, this is the place!

Blogging Refresher Class

   
   This morning, I'm taking a refresher course in "Blogging for Beginners", offered at my local public library.  I took the course originally back in June 2013, and it resulted in this blog being created!   I'm extremely grateful to the library and to the librarian that began teaching this course.  It's opened a brand new world to me.. the world of Blogging !

We are studying :

• What is a Blog?
• Types of Blogs
• FREE Blog Creation Sites
• Writing Your Blog
• Promoting Your Blog

    I'm learning so much and hoping to benefit from it by making my blog even better !

Another "Blast from the Past" Photo

   Okay.. here we go again.. as if.. these photos are cropping up all of the time.. from nowhere.. I don't know.. but then again, I wouldn't have to share them.. but I ultimately do.  I don't care.   Hey.. I can't look any worse now than I did then..  right ?

    This photo of me was taken around 1973 (I was 18.. I look about 12!) in the lobby of my school in Hollywood Beach, Florida.

   It was a great time for me.. but evidently, I was studying theology and not FASHION.. What a tie.. right?  lol.. ha ha!

Bob's Gone Loopy

  I recently purchased a new piece of guitar equipment : a Looping Pedal.  It's a BOSS RC-2 Loop Station pedal.

  It's a digital storage unit (and much more!) that will capture guitar playing and then allow the guitarist to create more parts on top of it.  You get a layered effect, as if there were more than one of you playing.

PANTHERS PRIDE

   I had one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life this past Sunday in Charlotte as I was able to attend the Panthers-Saints game.   What a blast!  It was such an exciting game.  Low-scoring, but hard-fought.   My friend wanted to leave, with five minutes to go in the game, after the Saints scored a touchdown and went ahead.  He wanted to leave again, with two minutes to go, as the Panthers decided to kick the ball away to the Saints.  Many others -WERE- leaving.  I told him, "Let's stay. I know something is going to happen.  Just believe."  I must admit, it didn't look good.  But we stayed, and what appeared to be a miracle happened. We got the ball back and scored with 23 seconds left.

    This video pretty much tells the story.   This was at the end of the game, as the Panthers had just scored the go-ahead touchdown with 23 seconds left, and then the PA announcer shared the news that the Panthers were indeed going to the NFL playoffs, the first time in five years.   Everyone was pretty excited, as you can probably tell from the video.  Just watch and listen. =)

 

 

   Thanks to Ken for allowing my best friend Fred and I to go to this game together.  We wouldn't have been able to make it without you.   I truly appreciate your generosity and kindness in giving him the tickets.  This was truly a memorable and unforgettable experience for us.  I look forward to being able to "thank you" in person sometime soon.

  Go Panthers!
