It's a quirky folk song playing on the iPhone. It has a catchy guitar rhythm and harmonica riff.
And it asks a good question....

Slumdog Squarepants
H and I finally saw Slumdog Millionaire this past weekend. It was a good film. The balance between slumdog and millionaire kept it from being standard fare. It certainly deserved the Oscar compared to the other nominees.

Drinking in Newburyport
The Valentines Day plan was to get drunk.
We started the night at Agave. Since we called for reservations at 5pm on Valentines Day we ended up in the bar. That was fine by us. We settled in with margaritas. The drinks were strong, but tasty. We then order a nacho appetizer. The nachos were fine. I thought there was too much cheese and I'm not a fan of refried beans on nachos. We also got there spicy chicken tacos. They rocked.
After Agave we headed over to the Grog. The Grog is a local favorite. I switched over to beer, but H decided to stick with the hard stuff. Her drinks were good. We got a lemon berry cake for desert. It was creamy and well balanced.
It was a night of delicious drinks and fabulous food.

The Garrison Inn
For the big V this year we decided to get out of town. On Saturday, the actual V day, H booked us a room at the Garrison Inn in Newburyport, MA.
After taxes the room cost $190. The room was fairly standard fair. The décor was pleasant, but not $200 pleasant. Breakfast came with the room, but breakfast was fancy McDonalds.
The one special thing about the Inn is the location. It is in the heart of the downtown area. All the bars and restaurants are less than a block away.
