| Barbecue, slaw, hushpuppies, and tea! |
Yesterday we took a little road trip to Lexington for lunch at
Lexington Barbecue where Katherine is convinced they serve the best barbecue, red slaw (which is vinegar-based), and hushpuppies in the world. Fitz is a huge fan as well, and while we're living in Winston-Salem, we plan on making this road trip more often.

| Of course it was packed...it's always packed... |
Fitz is reading a book about the FBI these days called
My FBI, and Katherine just finished
A Burial at Sea this afternoon. We also watched
2001: A Space Odyssey last night. The movie had been coming up in many conversations lately, and we thought we needed to see it ourselves. We actually liked most of it, but the last part was a bit much for us. We're keeping a sharp eye on our computers, watching for any signs of a mental breakdown...
OH! Memories! Jane and I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968 when it came out. I remember sitting in a restaurant with her after the movie and discussing the meaning etc. of the movie. 2001 seemed so far in the future at that time, but now it is in the past! (and can you believe Jane is still with me?) And how about HAL the computer? He is almost real now! Thanks for jarring my memories.
ReplyDeleteOK, HAL basically exists as IBM's Watson, as we discussed the other day at Reynolda. Creepy! And yet, so wonderful and geeky. I think Fitz is looking into building a computer, and if he does, we shall name him HAL. Hopefully he'll have a glowing red light for an eye! MWHAHAHAHA
