Daily Doings at the Line of Death Bar & Grill

Eight years ago, I had my first heart attack. This past week, I had a second heart attack.

So, thanks to the events of the past couple of weeks, I now have to do a better job watching what I eat -- fats, carbs, sodium, calories, cholesterol, etc. I will need to cut down -- or cut out -- some of my favorite foods. I'm already cutting out most fast food. So I'll have to find new places to eat.

One of the places I used to go to on an occasional basis was the local MCL Cafeteria, in Kettering. It's a regional chain, based in Indianapolis. It has a reputation of being popular with senior citizens, as evidenced by some of the jokes I've heard about the place. But hey, if it's good enough for older people with their own special dietary needs, it's good enough for me. Besides, it's still the official restaurant of the Black Book Band (as far as I know).

This evening, after dropping M off, I headed over there. I had a dinner of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry relish, orange gelatin, and iced tea. All for around $12. I think I'll be returning soon, and maybe become one of their regulars.

To recap, I was discharged from the hospital on Friday night. I have been spending the long weekend at home recuperating and resting.

Saturday morning, my friend Rick took me to services at Temple Beth Abraham. That afternoon, Deb took me to Bob Evans for a turkey dinner.

Sunday, Deb drove me to UU services and then grocery shopping. R dropped off M at 2:00pm and picked up up a little after 6:00pm.

Today, Riock took me to the pharmacy where I could get my prescriptions. I'm also spending the afternoon at his condo watching Harry Potter movies.

I am still looking to see if I can get a ride down to Cincinnati this week so I can return to work. I'm still under a "no driving or heavy lifting" restriction this week.
