Since a friend of mine asked: Timbers (my neighborhood bar 'n' grill) is not, in fact, a pirate-themed restaurant (as in "Shiver-me-timbers").  I suppose it's more lumberjack-y themed, if I'm going to try to make a connection to the name.  Very meat 'n' potatoes: burgers, steaks, chicken, pork chops, that sort of thing.  Some gestures towards being "hip" and "modern" with wraps (how Atkins) and Southwestern flavored things, but mostly stuff that can be ordered without too much explanation, and after a few beers.

 

Looking forward to the premiere of Rescue Me, the new Denis Leary show about fire fighters on FX tonight.
