Tuesday was the first day of school with students, so it seemed a great idea when Craig suggested we go out for “wing night” at Quaker Steak and Lube. Craig was bachin’ it, with his family in Pittsburgh, so he was excited for a wing buffet. Mer and I had never been, so we agreed to go.

We went early, as Craig indicated that by 6:00 there is a good wait. We got there at 5:00. The buffet was more than I’d expected – Mer and I both prefer boneless wings, and they actually had four or five kinds. I did also try a few of the standard bone-in kind. They buffet also had a weak chili, fries, nachos, and french fries. It was a good feast. I had three plates of dinner and one of dessert, and Craig impressed us with eating three of the third hottest wings that Quaker Steak offers.

We had a good time, as we always do with Craig. He is very much an original thinker, and is very witty, so evenings out with him always involve several where-did-he-come-up-with-that moments. Craig also introduced Mer to an iPhone game where you can write poetry using magnetic poetry words, and then you get matched up head-to-head against another poem, and people vote on it. Mer was pretty quickly hooked, and made me glad we do not have an iPhone. She did come up with a great poem though, and she won her round.
