BReaking Bad


Andrea drew a sample of Stan's blood promptly at 9 a.m. this morning, after his 12-hour overnight fast.
For the past months, there's been nothing but fruit and vegetable smoothies for breakfast, then lots of fish, water, dry popcorn and exercise, so there is a whole lot riding on a good report card when the lab technicians at Ridgeview Clinic complete their measured assessments.
We hope to just say No to Lipitor.
Immediately after the blood extraction, Stan and Kathleen sped off to the best place for breakfast in all of Eden Prairie, the Original Pancake House. It's Virg's favorite place for breakfast, but he had a tee time today so just the two of them ordered their pigs in a blanket smothered in syrup, with eggs, sausage patties, etc., cholesterol be damned.
Then on to Marcia's table at Kell Avenue for a huge piece of Lionel's birthday cake, swathed in whipped cream. Tonight, cocktails, a cigarette, chicken-fried steak with cheesy potatoes and a dish of Rocky Road Ice Cream.
It's so good to be bad.
