Happy Birthday, Sheryl!
I tried out Memphis' only Columbian restaurant last night, but ended up being pretty disappointed. It's this really neat little place with tropical foilage, Christmas lights, and fake parrots all over the walls and ceiling and piped-in salsa music. However, the food was distinguishable from that at a Denny's or Shoney's only by dint of the fact that they served a lime slice with the chicken and fries. I may have been hampered by the waitress and myself having a linguistic overlap of four words—"pollo" and "gracias" on my part and "thank you" on hers—but there didn't seem to be anything particularly exotic or spicy on the menu.
Also mildly annoyed that department stores seem to have stopped carrying cheap folding plastic lounge chairs. I want to get something to lie on so suntanning won't involve a reinactment of Leiningen versus the Ants, but I'd really prefer to avoid paying $200 for some piece of non-collapsible furniture that I don't have room to store.
Maybe like a Wal-Mart, Matt? I'm going to run out to Target later today, so I'll take a look-see as to what they've got on hand around here.

Around here, you can get those at drug stores in summer.
Sometimes grocery stores carry them -- but closer to Memorial Day.
Glad that ND & pals had a fun party.
Happy Birthday Sheryl!!
Timelies all!
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
We are about to head to the Metro to catch a train to the Nationals game.
Whee!

I tried the local one last night, and while they have folding upright chairs and heavy, solid form chaise lounges, they didn't have any of the folding sort that will adjust to fully horizontal. So far the closest thing I've seen is a $40 hammock w/ frame from Target, but I'm hoping I can find something that won't require hours of assembly. We'll see when I head out in a few.
I'm not a baseball fan, but that sounds like a good way to spend a birthday.
I am hoping for pictures from ND's birthday.
my cat is running aroundthe house meowing at us. for no reason that I can tell. he probbably wants to go out and play percy of the jungle. however, running into the bathroom does not give me a clear idea of what he truely wants.
Happy Birthday Sheryl
May the light always find you on a dreary day.
When you need to be home, may you find your way.
May you always have courage to take a chance
And never find frogs in your underpants.
