Back to the salt mines, or The Weekend That Was

After a fun weekend, I'm back to the salt mines at work. Since you don't care about my job, herewith a few thoughts about the Weekend That Was.

My parents were up for a visit, and so Saturday night we went to the Old Vilnius Cafe in Darien. It's a small place, and serves highly authentic Lithuanian food. Think pork, chicken, cabbage and potatoes. Lots of potatoes. Good food, but the sampler platter was enough for two, and we each got one.

After I sent the parents back downstate, I went to a matinee of Jurassic World. On the second weekend, the Sunday matinee was still full, so we'll be seeing sequels to this one. The plot and acting were okay, which is okay, since the real reason anybody goes to these movies is to see who gets eaten by a dinosaur and who doesn't.

Lastly, I watched the last few episodes of the TV series Justified. (I've been DVR-ing them and was behind in my viewing.) I liked the conclusion. I also like the fact that they did conclude the series. As I've said before, some stories have a sweet spot beyond which they get stale.
