Saturday was a enjoyable but busy day for the heads of Team Slap. In the morning Lisa went and got her hair cut and dyed
$Then we drove down to Kenosha to attend a BBQ in celebration of Vanessa, one of my office's secretaries, earning her US Citizenship.
We stayed about 90 minutes then drove all the way up to Cedarburg, to see The Fall Guy at the Rivoli. That theatre has become our go-to date night - $4 tickets, a nice old theater, and a postcard pretty town? Heck yeah - even when, like this, it wasn't a movie up Lisa's alley.

The Fall Guy, based very loosely on the old TV show of the same name, is about a stuntman named Colt Seevers who breaks his back on a movie set and retires, abruptly ending his relationship with Jody, played by Emily Blunt. 18 months later, regretting his actions, he accepts a job offer on the movie Jody is directing, and tries to track down the missing star before his absence costs Jody her film.
It was funny and full of action and, generally, a pleasant way to pass the time. I don't quite understand why the villains were immune to death and injury, bouncing back like Cobra soldiers in a GI Joe cartoon, Nor when you think of it afterwards (with full knowledge of the story) does the quest make any real sense.
But those are qualms best left in a folder marked "suspension of disbelief." Overall, I'd grade this one a solid B.
Afterwards, we drove back to Milwaukee and could not find a single restaurant open to eat; the whole dang city shuts down at 9 now, post-Covid. Ridiculous.
But we stumbled across El Tucanazo, a non-descript hole in the wall on S 13th St and gave it a shot.
IT WAS WONDERFUL.
And the portions? My word.

A great day with a great lady!
