Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
So we’re having some kids over for my son’s 9th birthday party and she tells me to put away the long-reach butane lighter that is up on the third shelf of our pantry. I turn to her with a puzzled look and say, “you mean the one you can’t ever get to light”? I get tone, but move it even further out of sight. Then comes candle-lighting time, and she comes over with some matches, but, after about three attempts, she still can’t light all 9 candles. I get the long-reach lighter back out and light the rest of the candles, then put it back up near the top of the pantry. After cake, I see the matches left there on the counter and turn ragey.

I need a new refrigerator
We have a Jenn-Air and it’s been solid for the past 9 years. It’s a side by side with bottom pull out section for the freezer. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
Mine wastes about 35 gallons of water to be able to wash and clean food containers so that they can be recycled. Then proceeds to leave the lights on and a/c set to 70 after she leaves for work.

Wireless printer problems
100% agree with this. Brother MFC line are workhorses and their customer support is actually helpful. I suggested to my father in law that he get one and calls from him asking me about printer issues have gone to zero (also suggested he get a Mac).

Rockets vs Warriors
Rockets in 7, home court holds true, except each team wins one on the road.

School me on Montreal
Well, you gotta go up Mount Royal (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Royal), which is how Montreal got its name.

Wine
Other option is to order a Malbec blend like this Vistalba (a bargain at $15 at Spec’s - https://specsonline.com/shop/wine/vistalba-corte-c-carlos-pulenta-2009/). It’s 76% Malbec, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% bonarda. They are tougher to find at restaurants, but to me, they have that strong Malbec start with a good Cabernet finish, whereas a straight Malbec wine finishes a bit watery.

Nope, didn’t make it up there. The views from the POV bar on the roof of the W are nice.

It will probably come down to whether Di Maria can stay healthy. When he plays, they seem to find scoring easier.

Will do now - you’re the third person who recommended the place.

Washington DC
We’re at the W now and seems pretty central. Tomorrow I’m driving to Monticello for the day while my wife is doing a mock for a Supreme Court case on Monday. We walked through the new Trump hotel that was the Old Post Office and it was just gaudy.

Champions League 2017-2018
Tough break for Juventus. At least most of the Argentinian national team players are going to get some rest before the World Cup starts.

Las Vegas go hard or go home thread
Bardot Brasserie at the Aria is solid for a nice dinner. Been there at least 3x and nothing but excellent food and service each time. It’s right in the middle of casual and formal.

New Houston Restaurant Recommendations
Second the La Sicilia rec - they only offer 2-3 pasta dishes for lunch so far, but they are good. I’ve tried the cannelloni as well as a couple of their sandwiches/pita bread.
