"It is in our power to have no opinion about a thing [that attempts to destroy] our soul; for things themselves have no natural power to shape our judgments." - Marcus Aurelius. That’s what I think of when the teenager at Dairy Queen says their ice-cream machine is broken. 😫 Speaking of Ice Cream, today JR and his unpluggedcommons crew will be at the Cafe today 3-7 or so with a slew of games to play. They’ll be in the house and on hand to learn you the rules and ropes. Our happy hour lasts from 4-8pm and is the best deal in town. Do we like to party or what?

Last night was a throwdown for the ages. Now, I’m here Biding’ time with these breakfast tacos and delicious potatoes until Happy Hour starts at 4 and goes ‘til 8. Robin’s behind the bar and holding court tonight! To quote Tiesto : Let’s Get Down, Let’s Get Down, Let’s get down to business.

So happy for Joshua Ray Walker and his new release . The album cover stands as what could’ve been had he not triumphed through his battle with cancer. And lucky us, because it’s a beautiful piece of art that stretches time and space. Go over to Good Records or your local record shop to get you a copy. On the way there, stream it wherever you listen to that kinda stuff. You’re gonnna dig it. We know we do.

“I order the club sandwich all the time and I'm not even a member, man.” This turkey club is the bomb. Seen here on some sourdough bread, it’s so perfectly crafted. Turkey and Bacon saying howdy. That slice of Gouda is like, “say whaaa?” And that toothpick holding it all together. This thang’s putting out “daaaaaang” vibes.

Anybody wanna put on some jeans and play some volleyball? Quick rabbit hole : Irene Cara’s Flashdance theme song went #1 on this day in 1983. The movie used the song in a montage/music video style that the producers (Bruckheimer and Gibson) continued to use in most of their subsequent films including, of course, Top Gun that used K-Log’s “Danger Zone” to great success. The 80’s were sooo radical. Speaking of radical, tonight I’m gonna high-five everyone at the and show here at the cafe tonight. It’ll be totally bodacious.

In case you were about to google search “did Cher and Jimmy Stewert ever have a joint birthday party,” I’ve gone ahead and helped you out. The answer is, sadly, no. Can you imagine that rager? Maybe they do a lil’ duet of “I Got You Babe.” Martini himself is tending bar. Clarence is flying high above. For some reason, I’m reminded of a lil’ hidden quote written below a picture of Pa Bailey from It’s a Wondeful Life : “All that you can take with you is that which is given away.”

I’m not sure who the “they” are that decide this, but “they’ve” really thought up something to celebrate for everyday of the year. I’m probably wayyy late to the party, and most of you already party down on “National No Dirty Dishes Day,” but for those of us who didn’t yet know - Woooowee! No dishes! Imma gonna order take out. Dishes are stupid!!! Paper plates for life!!! (Or at least for today…)
