Sorry, flea. Most of the local restaurants I know are on the RTP side of town. But if that's not too far there's a nice Korean place in RTP--Chosun Ok--that had some kids in it the last time I went. The service is pretty slow, but gracious. And the food's terrific.
I would be there right now.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
Oh mega-crap:
"Outbound Newburyport train #175 (3:15 PM) is involved in a train vs. car accident and is currently approximately 45 minutes late."
Yes, that is the train Nora is on.

Oh dear. I hope you don't come home to find a Noracicle on your doorstep!
I've been somewhat amused to see cars getting stuck on my street. Except when they skid a little too close to my new car. Which they really shouldn't, because the city shut the bridge two houses down off, so they shouldn't even be on my little piece of unplowed street....
ION, I have blueberry muffins baking in my oven. From the extraordinary Duncan Hines mix. Soon there will be yumminess.

Ow. I was just ambushed by a sneeze. I think I pulled something. I think I'll blame my mother.
(she had a hernia growing up such that it would...herniate, I guess, if she sneezed without bracing it. She did this by drawing her knee up. Both my brother and I do not have hernias, but bring our knee up when we sneeze. It's done something weird because if we don't, OW.)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I kind of want ice cream. Maybe I am crazy.
I've been craving egg nog ice cream. And I've never even had egg nog ice cream before. But, Alton Brown made some and now I want it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My feet are freezing, but at least my streets are not frozen, and I am not involved in any accidents concerning trains, planes, or automobiles.
I did have a bizarre experience yesterday, though. Coming home, I'm sitting at a stop light at the intersection of a toll road and a major street. I look up, and a car from the other street is running a red light. Then he's weaving around stopped traffic. Then he's running another red light. My thought progression went like this: "Idiot? Drunk? Medical emergency? Oh, police chase."
Right around the time the cops came roaring after him, he was being broadsided by oncoming traffic. The guys staggered out of the car, and other people jumped out of their cars to hold them until the cops could reach them. It was surreal. And kind of scary.

Freaky!
There are decorators in the hallway. Some of them were the drinking sysadmins. I think I should be afraid.
