Every vicariously re-live a trip through receipts? I do on occasion. Odd, but enlightening too. For example, a trip to Anchor-town that I took last month, I spent $40 on two separate meals - all for me. One was at the Double Musky Inn. I had a wonderful plate of Alligator Ribs. They were glazed with a sweet sauce. Sorta like a clear teriyaki. They tasted like chicken with a very slight fish undertone. Very slight.
The other place was the Glacier BrewHouse. I had a blackend red snapper with pico de gallo and fresh avocado. Quite exquisite.
The other putrageous expenditure was me upgrading my underwear. You see, I've always bought cotton. Always. No if's, and's, or butt's...
Recently I splurged and purchased 2 pairs of Ex Officio boxer briefs. The first day I wore them I knew I was in trouble. I have never had a more comfortable pair of underwear. Thin, light weight, breathing, non-binding, comfortable, shall I go on?
Anyway, I had 2 pair and decided to get enough for a week. So guess what, I spent just over $100 on underwear at REI. No foolin'! Hopefully I won't need to do that again anytime soon.
Gals, if you love that man in your life - do him a huge favor and buy a pair for him. He'll thank you in the end.
Guess I ought to go back to balancing the checkbook. Thanks for the diversion.
