Priorities are important!

I know we’re going fruit-picking this Saturday, but we HAVE to be back in time to watch England play Portugal at 11 a.m. We just have to.
In other news, the adapter on my Dell Inspiron 4100 (I know, I’m old school!) has suddenly died, which means my personal laptop is pretty much dead too. I [...]

Blur

I’ve had several posts in my head over the last week, but I haven’t actually written any of them out to completion, partly because of work and partly because of carpal tunnel and partly because I’ve simply haven’t had time to write things down lately.

Maimunah and I had plans for dinner at Cafe Lily in Decatur tonight. She had things she needed to do first, so we planned on meeting around 7:30ish. Since I was coming from work, I figured I’d stop by Masjid Al-Farooq* to pray ‘asr rather than doing it at work because why pray in a [...]

Conglomerate

The other day while I was researching Starfish Sushi, I discovered that Raving Brands, the company behind Moe’s, Doc Green’s, and several other fast-casual restaurants, had purchased my favorite breakfast spot, The Flying Biscuit.
I’m a Moe’s fan; AM and I take their food to every Braves game we attend. I also like Doc Green’s, despite [...]
