We are making plans for the big Super Bowl Party. My buddy, Jeremy, is having the party at his place. He has this really nice condo downtown with a big community room that can be used by the residents. He booked the party room, which is really sweet. It has a 52 inch flatscreen TV, theater seating and a full kitchen, bathrooms and even an area off to the side with a pool table. I love that party room better than any other friends with a man cave.

So the rest of us are pitching in to cover the food and beverages. I told him I would spring for a keg, pick it up and deliver it an hour before the game. My girlfriend, Janice, is going to cook about $100 worth of chicken wings and bring them on a huge platter with 4 different kinds of sauce. You know, you can get a lot of chicken wings if you buy them at the Sam’s Club and cook them yourself.

It’s probably going to be too cold to barbecue or grill anything. But we do need more food than just chicken wings. I hope someone bring s a party platter from Subway or something substantial. We are going to need good food to keep this party going.

Spent today chilling with my buddy, Dean. It was a cold and rainy day and I just didn’t fell like doing much that couldn’t be put off until tomorrow – or next weekend. Dean happened to call and said he had a craving for buffalo wings. That was all I needed to here – I was outta here.

We went to the new restaurant called Buffalo Wild Wings. Its more than a sports bar – it has pretty good food. I like the huge selection of sauces they offer – no where else in town to pick from that many sauces for your wings.

At a restaurant last night, we made friends with people at both of the tables next to us. I don’t know why we got so friendly and rowdy. Everyone was just in a good mood. We had a lot of fun.

The odd thing about the whole thing – I’ve been rowdy plenty of times! – was that three of the ladies there were named Katelyn or Caitlyn or however you spell that name. I had no idea that Katelyn was such a popular name. And each of those ladies was gorgeous!

If you want to have a steak for dinner, where do you go?

I like to grill steaks at home. I would buy the best steak I could find at Sam’s Club and take it home to cook it just right.

But if I had to go out to a restaurant to eat the best steak, I have a lot of choices here. The Morton’s is really good but a little uppity. I think that Longhorn actually has the best atmosphere, the best menu and the best bar.

So my pick is Longhorn. What’s yours?

Tonight is a great show downtown. One of the local guys who has had like 100 hit songs is playing at a little restaurant. It’s a tiny place that has great food and it can be hard to get a table if you get there at dinner time when they are having a show, too. The band sets up right in the dining room and every seat is great. I am heading down there in a few minutes to get a table. If I’m late, I hope there’s at least a spot at the bar. don’t want to miss the show just because I had to go to the bank and get gas this evening on my way home.
