You want fries with that shake?

The advantage of taking Jennie for a walk after sundown is, of course, a much more comfortable walking experience. It's still warm and muggy, but it sure beats hot and muggy.

Anyhow, we're scooting along and I was struck by a random thought: If this kind of night was taking place say about 20 years ago, it was TOTALLY the kind of night where one hops on his motorcycle or jumps in her car and heads over to a place like Burgermaster or Dick's for a nice cold milkshake. And most likely this trip involves at least one if not more good friends.

I could see that scene in my mind's eye because it actually happened many times over. Sitting in someone's car or perched on our bikes, talking shit, laughing, joking, and just hanging out. I see a lot of kids hanging out at the Top Food parking lot, and I can't help but to wonder, why aren't you guys hanging out at (anywhere but a grocery store parking lot)? But maybe they don't care where they are, because they're hanging out with their friends and having a good time.

So if you haven't had a good laugh or at least cracked a smile about the times you and your friends used to cruise up and down the Kirkland waterfront, go dancing at your favorite club, or chow down on pizza or milkshakes, I highly recommend it. Doesn't cost you a dime, and is almost guaranteed to make you smile.
