Reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The English prose from that period (1818) holds your attention. I am really enjoying it. I think it is well written and a good story. The movies that followed in the next century bear no resemblance at all to the book.
Mr Gene's Dog House in Cincinnati. Kind of a hole in the wall place with a great variety of dogs. Their Chicago Dog is my favorite. The lady inside calls me Sugga, that alone is worth the trip!

I try to match the leather attachment ears to my shoes, which is only a problem when I wear burgundy shoes. I don't wear patterned suspenders with a patterned shirt and I do try to coordinate the colors. Of course if I am not taking my jacket off it doesn't matter as much.
