guest brian

Today I had lunch with Brian Tol. He and I used to work together at Gospel Communications and he's recently gone over to 5Q Communications.

We ate at one of my favorite places in Grand Haven, Pavilion's Wharf. The Wharf is right downtown, has great burgers, and is smoke-free. I'm pretty much done eating in places that allow smoking. Michigan is considering legislation that will ban smoking in public places, we'll see about that.

The Wharf has this one burger that bears mentioning - The Magnificent Stuffed burger. It's a burger - yeah, that's pretty obvious - and it's stuffed with bacon, cheese and jalapeƱo peppers - add curly fries and you're set for the day. I estimate the calories at around 400,000.

On a personal note - Brian and his wife Amy are preparing to adopt a child from Ethiopia. I wrote up a warm-fuzzy letter for them and hopefully it will help. When I heard they were looking at Ethiopia I said, "Hey, at least they won't each much."

... maybe it's just me.
