AS YOU CAN GUESS BY THE TITLE, I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE FURNITURE TO ARRIVE... BUT AS THEY SAY, GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT... (AND WAIT AND WAIT!)... IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE BEEN EXPLORING CHANDLER ARIZONA AND THE IMMEDIATE AREAS TO FAMILIARIZE MYSELF WITH MY NEW SURROUNDINGS...
HERE'S MY SEINFELDIAN OBSERVATION FOR THE DAY: YOU EVER NOTICE HOW WHEN YOU BUY SOMETHING AND THE BOX SAYS "SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED" THAT WHAT IT REALLY MEANS IS "YOU NEED AN ENGINEERING DEGREE." I HAVE A BREAKFAST BAR IN THE KITCHEN, SO I BOUGHT SOME BARSTOOLS... WHEN I OPENED THE BOX, NONE OF THE PIECES WERE ASSEMBLED AT ALL (HENCE, ALL ASSEMBLY REQUIRED)... IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS EVER BOUGHT ANYTHING FROM IKEA, YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT...(AT LEAST THE INSTRUCTIONS WEREN'T IN SWEDISH). BUT WITH SOME ELBOW GREASE AND A LOT OF ALLEN WRENCHING, I HAVE TWO VERY COMFORTABLE BARSTOOLS TO SIT ON...(WHICH IS GOOD, BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SIT ON)...
AFTER 3 UNSUCCESSFUL FORAYS INTO CHANDLER, I HAVE FINALLY FOUND BUCA DI BEPPO! THIS IS A CHAIN OF ITALIAN RESTAURANTS THAT HAS LOCATIONS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY... WHEN MY SISTER WOULD COME UP FROM VIRGINIA I WOULD MEET THEM AT THE CHERRY HILL, NJ LOCATION... (VERY COOL RESTAURANT AND FABULOUS FOOD)... SO WHEN I MOVED OUT HERE I SAW THERE WAS A LOCATION IN CHANDLER BUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME I COULDN'T LOCATE IT (AND I DIDN'T USE PARIS---DUH!)... SO YESTERDAY I MADE ANOTHER ATTEMPT AND VIOLA! EUREKA! I FOUND IT! (JIM DOESN'T HAVE MUCH TO DO, DOES HE?)...
SO EVERYTHING I BROUGHT FROM NEW JERSEY IN THE CAR HAS BEEN SETTLED IN... JUST WAITING FOR THE NEXT WAVE (HOPEFULLY SOON)... IN THE MEANTIME I BOUGHT A NOSEBLEED TICKET FOR SUNDAY'S CARDINALS GAME AGAINST THE WORLD CHAMPION NEW YORK (REALLY NEW JERSEY) GIANTS...THE SEAT IS IN THE LAST SECTION AT THE TOP BUT IS ON THE FIFTY YARD LINE... BRINGING LOTS OF SUN SCREEN AND BINOCULARS...
