As if I haven't had Praha on the brain enough already, I saw Mr. Smazeny Syr himself yesterday.
I think the weather is making me relive my move to Prague - it was about this time of year and the weather there was exactly the same: perfect temperatures and no humidity, only the occasional big fat fluffy look-like-they-were-drawn-by-a-five-year-old clouds. Now I'm exploring a new place, trying to get my bearings and scoping out the neighborhood, tripping over cobblestones and gawking at architecture, dealing with snobby bartenders - sounding awfully familiar.
I met Adam at The Publick House - officially my favorite place even with a bit of 'tude from the staff. Sitting outside, we established ourselves as Official Jogger Hecklers. No less than two dozen joggers went by as we sat there drinking carbs and dunking deep-fried potatoes into mayonnaise. I think my favorite part of the evening was sharing our table with a couple who confirmed my theory that Everyone Has a Pet But Me. Teddy, their massive golden retriever puppy, got special attention from the staff. The waiter brought out a giant roasted turkey leg, a la Disney World, just for Teddy, and that dog went to town.
I think the waiters liked Teddy better than they liked our human - cash paying - party. Or maybe Adam proffering beer to the joggers put us at a disadvantage.
Tonight Mister's high school friend comes into town before flying off to China for the year, and while I should probably finish the last of the Unpacking and take care of registering for a Mass. license, I think finally getting over to Deep Ellum to try out their patio is a higher priority.

I have to admit I'm guilty of stalking your blog too, but it has proven to be far more interesting than mine so I think I got the better end of this deal.
Clan of the Cave Bear was definitely a good book (I just re-read it), but I could see myself freaking out and developing an irrational fear of neanderthals had I read it when I was younger. Give it another try!
And good luck with the unpacking. I'm currently in the process of packing, and not looking forward to the inevitable unpacking that will follow when I get to school tomorrow.
Kate why is it that your blog does not seem to update on my RSS feed reader or my blogroll? You fell off the radar. If this is all part of a plan to make me click over to your page numerous times a day in an effort calm my ever growing anticipation of your next entry....then it's working. I just can't help myself.
If cats are out of the picture maybe you should get a dog. One of those little pugs or french bulldogs or whatever it is that you love. Ok, I'm going to stop being a bad influence now.
There's a restaurant/bar called Public House by my office. I've been to lunch and happy hour there. Very cool place. Related to yours? I think not. They don't spell it with a K. I firmly believe they have failed as a business, as K is the best letter ever.
