What Were They Thinking? Subscribe to comments to this posting
Posted by Rob Sherwood   •   Tuesday, 2007-May-01 • 09:10
A new month and so much attention to my website it boggles ones mind. I am working on more Chapters and straightening out the various threads so there is some sort of flow...that will all arrive soon.

Lolling in bed this morning, I found myself actually getting mad...perhaps, getting irked is closer to my feeling...when I thought of the buffet I had on Sunday. I've eaten dinner at Blackwood's Restaurant and liked both the food and the atmosphere. My expectations must have been too high. We've been planning this Sunday buffet excursion for months and the realization didn't equal the anticipation.

The food was good. I've had better bread pudding, and scrambled buffet-eggs are no great shakes. The problem was: There was no WOW! factor. Someone planned this buffet and WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? I would be embarrassed to offer a 'high-toned' buffet and have it pale in comparison to a "trailor-trash" buffet. In almost EVERY instance, Blackwood's didn't rise to the occasion when compared to Old Country Buffet. Entree's, basics, selection, salad bar, desserts...OCB wins every time. BW only gets the atmosphere/service gold medal. And the bottom line...with tip--Blackwood's $25.00....Old Country Buffet $12. I would like to ask the powers-that-be at Blackwood's Restaurant..."What Were They Thinking?"

How often do you listen to a radio station and ask yourself that question. How about politicians?....I wonder if they think at all. When I go to the Mall I see women and girls wearing all varieties of unfortunate fashion choices and can't help but ask...What were they thinking?" There must have been a death in their family and all the mirrors are covered. On a warm day I saw a man, 40+, enjoying the nice weather by wearing a pair of cut-off jeans! with this black dress shoes and patterned socks. His t-shirt barely covered his belly. Daisy Duke was rolling over in her grave and she isn't even dead! "What was he thinking?"

I plead guilt too. Far too often, I wasn't thinking. Or my thinking was wrong. At least I think so.
