I took my Dad and his bad back over to the Expressway Diner today for dinner. Jeepers, do they have a fairly extensive menu. It's down the street from me and open 24 hours a day. For diner food, it was pretty decent, I must say. I opted for the Chopped Steak and it was tasty.

It's amazing how few 24-hour joints there are in town. I'm not talking McDonald's, but places where societal dregs are rampant. Maybe this is the place.

Meal of Links

Disney is axing everyone these days. Including the female head of the motion picture division.

The Mercury nominees have been announced. Scritti Politti...who knew?

See how many folks have your first name throughout the decades. I peaked in the '40s, but am still a Top 20 name. Please check out the rise and fall of Fallon.

Exercise Yard

Floyd Landis spit the bit today at the Tour de France. Got absolutely dusted on the last climb. Maybe a stronger team could have pulled him through, but yikes, did he fall way back today. Rasmussen with the most beautiful stage win, by his lonesome. Periero regains the yellow jersey.

Tomorrow: The most brutal climb of this year's Tour.

If you're ever in the Hts (as in Parma Hts.) in the wee hours of the morning, stop by Luna's Deli on York Rd just south of Pearl. Open all the time, decent food, good service. And real live smokers, too.

Ah Luna's - the home of the french toast that was mistakenly served with mayo in a little cup instead of butter. And the waitress just laughed. Of course she didn't laugh when I left that generous tip.
