I’ve never been to a restaurant on its “opening night” before… until now.
One of the exciting new developments here in Franklin, Tennessee is the addition of a huge new shopping/dining area called Parkway Commons — including a Target (opens in March), a Kroger (opens a few months after Target), and a Chili’s (opening night: January 27, 2005).
We decided to take a chance on the crowds and check out the new Chili’s off Columbia Avenue in Franklin.
Turns out there’s a guy named Lee (of Oh No, The Blog!) who posts an entry in his blog each Friday entitled, “What I Learned This Week“.
While, it’s not really a meme, per se, I’m playing along, cuz this one’s right right up my alley!
Coincidentally, the theme of “What I Learned” has been in my personal repertoire for years now. First, in the form of a journal in which I used to jot down interesting tidbits — random who’d-a-thunk-it kinds of things that I had learned on any given day. It included everything from “how to tell if a cantelope is ripe” to “how Ronald Reagan’s love letters to Nancy reminded me to write some love notes to my husband”.
When we started this blog a few months ago, I even started incorporating the phrase “What I Learned Today…” at the bottom of some of my entries.
So, in the spirit of encouraging everyone to give some thought to all the meaningful things you can learn on any given day, I, too will be posting my list here each and every Friday. (Thanks for the push, Lee!)
Here is my first entry…

Ever since our very first “date” in Orlando (6 years ago!), Jim and I have been playing NTN trivia whenever we go to bars and restaurants. We signed up under the handle PASHUN, and we started racking up the…
Well the holidays are behind us now, and there are 3 main highlights that come to mind:
1. The “healthy eating / diet consciousness” left us on or about December 24th!
2. The fam is all doing well.
3. We missed our dogs terribly, and almost bought another one the day we returned!
Jim obliged when they asked him to be in the 2005 AutoTrader calendar. This picture of Jim at the printing press has earned … Read more
