Jack-in-the-Box

Smart Wool!

another pumpkin chocolate chip muffin

Even though yesterday I said I might quit, today I want to say how good the salt bagel and mocha was today from Kettleman's.

Yesterday's Lays sour cream and onion and Jakes freshly fried potato chips were good too as was the thin crust meatlovers pizza at the living room. But I think a restaurant chain that sells canned clam chowder should always have it on the menu. Maybe it is at the famous crawfish place and not the grill.

Quitting?
