Man I got get me a cable modem!!! So we aquariumed it today, good stuff. I like that place, people smell, but the fish are cool. We then went to Covenant and saw some old schoolers there. Shot some hoops and kicked a soccer ball with the kids, tried to wear em out... backfired. I'm pooped. Though i needed a little exercise. It'll be nice moving up here we'll be able to use that gym without any fees. That was a huge seller for me, free gym, i mean the YMCA for two people costs about 60 i think and for two at Sports Barn, the classier gym in town, it costs like 80 or 70. So we'll hopefully use it when we move here. Plus it will keep us from ever being tempted to buy a worthless piece of exercise equipment. I hate buying exercise equipment, i feel its a waste of money cause you know, I know, and the belly knows that that treadmill, health rider, nordic track, rowing machine, weight set, bow flex, and personal trainer won't be used in two monthes time. This way least I'm not shellin out the big bucks, well i am for the house but least i get equity with that. Wife's gonna cook up some taco's tonight, we had some chinese for lunch which was too much. We went to the one by the now defunct bi lo in stelmo. I heard Bi Lo's trying to get out of Chatt, which would be cool since they pretty much just suck. We need like Kroger or Publix here to class things up. Win Dixie's good but a little weak and small. Man i tell you what nothing beats Shnucks, the grocery store chain in St. Louis. its awesome. They're huge and only in St Louey. No other chain can bust into the st. Louis scene because all the big grocery stores there are st. louis owned and operated. An outsider would have to buy one of the existing st. louis chains to break in. But man Shnucks, Dierbergs, and Straubs are the big three fave st. louis grocers and they're good. I'm telling you Jews know how to run a grocery store, right Mesh? They're always clean, friendly, and good food. Got a good Kosher selection too! Well I'm diverging from sanity, time to go see what the crap those kids are up to.

Posted by: jeremy at February 14, 2004 07:20 PMI beg to differ, the best chinese restaurant bar none in st. louis is Mei Lee on Delmar, they win awards all the time. They're fried rice is fried to a nice heart stopping crispy level. And I've never had a better egg roll than theirs. I found it funny yesterday when i ordered pot stickers at the one near bi lo and the lady asked me what kind i wanted, i saw her right it down, yet i never received them nor got charged for them... oh well. My favorite Chinese in chatt has to be china moon. Though its a buffet it has some of the best food. Yum Yum's is great for the 3rd world experience but the fear of rats keeps me away.
Posted by: holton at February 15, 2004 03:51 PMyes, of course, the crispy egg roll is THE food in st. louis. that's a given. i was thinking fast, take-out chinese, a category by which i would never insult mai lee. i try as hard as possible not to think about mai lee, being so far away. it's too late, and now i must suffer.
