What's the current hottest restaurant in your city? Have you tried it out yet?
At the moment it is a restaurant called The Hut. It sat right on the edge of Apalachicola Bay, they had big picture windows so you could lookout at the bay while you dine. There was always something wonderful to watch from those windows, from sunsets to wildlife on the shores and the food was good too. Two years ago it was destroyed by a Hurricane and they couldn't rebuild the structure properly due to environment laws against new construction on the bay. They would have to either build it back the way it was and risk yet again a hurricane blowing it apart for the third time (it's been demolished once before). I actually helped with the clean-up and restoration the first time. Even worked there after the re-opening as a busboy / dishwasher, I was fourteen at the time and it was one of my first real jobs.
OK enough with the past, God am I starting to feel old :-)
So anyways, The owners didn't want to build The Hut back in the same spot with those restrictions. But this week The Hut has re-opened once again in a new location. The owners bought out another restaurant in the next town and re-modeled the place. It's not on the water anymore and it's not as big as before but still very nice. Yesterday a couple of friends and I went out to lunch at The Hut. I'm happy to say the food is great, if not better then before and it was packed out, there wasn't a vacant seat anywhere and the people were lined up to get in. I'm sure it will slow down after a few weeks but I just hope its wasn't just the view that kept people coming back.

Who would you trust with your life?
This question needs to be flushed out a bit more.
If I needed someone to say "take me, not him." that's fine and dandy its over in a flash. Most of my family and friends without a second thought would do this for me. But if it meant pushing a button every 30 minutes for the rest of your life to keep me alive, now that's a little harder to commit to. I love my little sister but come the weekend she is a party animal and I would be dead for sure or she would find someone off the street that didn't even know me to push the button for her while she was out partying.
At a drop of a hat I would throw myself in front of a car to save a friend or family. But to commit to waste the rest of my live pushing a button to keep someone else alive, now that's sacrificing not just your live but the rest of your life, no matter how long it maybe.
What about regret and what if you decide after a few months, "Hey, this person is really a dick, I don't want to do this for them anymore." Then where would you be? Sorry about this but I can't push this button anymore, you are on your own. It's all about the moment, who is important in your life at that time. A married couple that is in love would give their life for one another without question. But after they have kids now the moment, the prospective has changed to not each other but for the child or children or maybe even the family pet (it could happen). The point is live and love in the moment, trust the ones around you that you love and that love you. The rest will sort itself out in time.
What shows are you looking forward to in the new fall TV season?
The IT Crowd (British comedy worth it's weight in gold).
The Bionic Woman (I might not get BSG this fall but I will get Katee Sackhoff).
House M.D. (The acting and interaction between the characters is amazing).
