Just gawking at photos of really expensive houses in Raleigh and the surrounding area that are owned by guys who make a heck of a lot of money and will likely be in a lockout come September.  Yeah, trying to waste some time, what can I say.  One more hour and the weekend will, at last be here.

Looks like Bates' restaurant is slated to go in pretty close to some of the places I've been to, and darn close to where he still owns property (why does someone need two condos in one building?)  I have to wonder if there is any potential for him to play in Carolina again or if he'll just use those places as "home base".  Regardless after the eatery is in place I'll need to make a visit to catch up with old friends and old haunts.

If I plan things just right maybe the game against Greensboro is within reason, or if the NHL does play a Pens game?  Hmm.  Time to start making a list.  Abbey Road, J. Gilberts, Sushi Thai, ...what was that little Gothy club called Joe?
