So Bennigan's closed tonight

Bennigan's in McAllen closed tonight. Permanently. I couldn't help but laugh, out loud actually. I'm still laughing. Sure I had fun there, but come on what kind of crappy business management could crap that up? Here's to incompetence. We've heard rumors of some sort of improprieties or something.

It's hardly worth noting and yet it really is. As far as the McAllen chapter of our blog goes, Bennigan's was a staple. Good or bad, I'm not sure. Probably both. I don't really have much more to say about the subject. I just felt like it should be noted in passing. Here's a great big "Oh well, moving on..."

Speaking of moving on... actually I'm not really. Today I had an eye dr. appt. No biggie, just trying to make sure my glasses are up to date before I head out. So I don't know if you guys get the whole pupil dilation thing done to you, but that's pretty much torture. I have a condition in my eyes that makes me extremely sensitive to light in normal conditions, much less with dilated pupils. I don't know if the doctor forgot that, or was just being an ass, but I almost feel compelled to pass onto the CIA this new untraceable torture technique. Seriously, I confess already, I did it! Oh man, I promise I'm trying as hard as I can to keep my eyes open but the bright light, and you sticking stuff in them does not help! It'd be one thing if you were understanding doctor, but you were an ass! Come on keep your eyes open. Oh I'm sorry, I normally can keep my eyes open just fine when staring at the sun, I don't know what's wrong today. Hmmmm. Maybe it's I have a freaking condition that my eyes let too much light in? Oh oops was that not on the chart? Oh by the way you may have glacouma. I mean you're in the high normal range, it's just I'm a paranoid doctor, and normally you're very normal. Whatever just stop sticking me in the eye with the light, I don't care. Oh and get me a prescription for some weed.

Most of the above was my mental processing during my eye doctor visit. Little was actually voiced, but it should have been. I have to go back next Monday for more torture. Pray that I don't have glacouma and that the doctor is just an overly cautious prick. Oh but I'm less blind in my right eye. Go figure. Anyway, it's not really a big deal but any prayer is appreciated.

Coop, you don't need a prescription for weed. I happen to know a guy who knows a guy.

I hear it's great at curing ennui as well.

Will be praying for you and that was a funny story. The eye doctor does that to me too.
