Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Sunday I'm booked with my Great Uncle and Aunt in Albany (near the North Berkley Station of the BART, I'm told--I have no idea where it is, aside from near a BART station)

Heh. Emmett goes to school and plays baseball in Albany (which is a tiny five square miles.)

Take her to Cafe Leila.

La Note is usually mobbed; they take no reservations

La Note will take reservations if the party is big enough. I no longer remember, of course, what defines big enough. But sitting outside in the courtyard is lovely on a good weather day.

I wanna go to SF!!

good places tucked away in strip malls are a personal favorite of mine

Two of my favorite restaurants are/were in strip malls (Uzbek food in Buffalo Grove and Tunisian in Chicago which is now no longer serving food, sad to say, damn smoking regulations).

One of my favorites is too - Caffe Bella in Randolph, MA (of all places). It's a constant presence in the Boston Zagat top food ratings list (which is how I found it).

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

One of my favorite restaurants, Little Szechuan, is a strip mall that also includes a Thai restaurant, an Indian video store, a Chinese herbalist, a carniceria and a gun store.

grrr. missed an online coupon for 10% if I'd booked yesterday. Now, I'm wondering if I should wait to see if I can get another coupon or just go ahead and commit while the prices are good.

There was this article in the NYT not so long ago on getting refunds for airline tickets that went down in price after purchase: [link]

Depends a lot on the airline, and if there's a fee attached, but according to the article, Alaska is one of the companies that does not charge a fee, so it may help some of the Seattle travelers!

Most of LA's great, cheap ethnic restaurants seem to be in strip malls. That's where you find amazing Thai, and Brazilian food etc.
