Summer League, The Avengers, Dragon Ships, Paula Deen.

Wednesday our summer league started. What a crowd. The owners had managed to persuade quite a few people from other leagues which happen through the winter. We ended up with 9 teams but then a couple of people dropped out just before the start so the owners will have to re-arrange somewhat. Matt had a pretty good day with some really nice scores. Mine were better than my final average in the winter league, but that is not saying a heck of a lot. However, they weren’t disgraceful. What one of our friends calls a respectable score which I actually find a bit damning LOL.

I might say it was damned cold today. Everyone was complaining about it and it was windy too. Winter seems to have returned.

Tuesday night, I had obtained The Avengers from the library so I watched it. Not Matt’s scene at all. He is not into things which are impossible. He wants realism in his movies. However, I watched it. Alex J. Cavenaugh is highly in favour of this movie and it’s follow up and I can see why. Blood, Boobs and Carnage is a favourite saying of his and there was plenty of that, especially the carnage. They made a right wreck of New York City. There were also some space ships which, to me, looked like the Dragon of the Stars from his latest book but more so. I am not really up on Marvel comics so wasn’t 100% sure who all the “heroes” were. Never heard of the Black Widow before. However, I have since read up on the movie and figured out, more or less, who everyone was. I wondered why Superman wasn’t there, but I guess he wasn’t a Marvel comic character. I don’t know.

This is another of my all time favourite asparagus recipes. Paula Deen is a Southern Cook who made a name for herself with a restaurant called The Lady and Sons which she owns and operates in Savannah, Georgia. We actually went to the restaurant a long time before it became famous and before Paula appeared on her own TV cooking show. A very enterprising southern girl. She recently got into all kinds of trouble because she was sued because she used the “n” word. If you are interested, you can read more about it by following the link. She has had an interesting life.
