It all started with a drive to the beach. We opened the cabin. Turned on the power. Turned on the water. Then we headed into the Sportsman’s Pub for dinner and beverages. <\/p>\n

We got a round of drinks, Jane ordered her rib-eye, and then this happened when I attempted to order a burger:<\/p>\n

Me to the waitress: I’ll have a Mushroom Swiss burger.
\nJane: Oh, you’re getting dead baby ears?
\nMe: Dead baby ears? What the fuck?
\nWaitress: Ohmygod, mushrooms are totally dead baby ears. Or wait, were the babies dead or alive?
\nJane: I guess they could have been alive.
\nWaitress: They would shrink after you cut them off.
\nMe: I hope these babies were deaf before you cut their ears off.
\nJane: Maybe it would be better if the babies were dead.
\nWaitress: But not for long, or the ears wouldn’t be fresh.
\nMe: Hey! I have to eat this!
\nWaitress: It’s OK. Our dead baby ears are very fresh. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, I still ordered the burger.
\nYes, somehow I have managed to surround myself with people who are every bit as odd as I am. <\/p>\n

The best thing was the way the waitress just rolled with it. She didn’t even blink. <\/p>\n

That is why I love people. They turn mushrooms into dead baby ears.
\nDinner. Drinks. Friends joined us. Joked about condiments with the waitress, who remembered Kyle and Rocky the Condiment Kings. <\/p>\n

Back to Kathleen’s place for a few more drinks and profound conversation. <\/p>\n

Got home to Sandtime eventually. Late. Very late. <\/p>\n

Slept late Saturday. Coffee. Stew on the stove. Snacks. More profound conversation and reading. Knitting. Crocheting. Reading. A walk on the misty, foggy, high tide beach. <\/p>\n

I suspect there may have been saunas taken at Kathleen’s. <\/p>\n

Going to upload now…I may not get a signal again!<\/p>\n
