The only bagel store in Athens GA closed last week. Dammit.
Check the front page of the NYTimes to see a 44-story hotel in Beijing fully in flames (not yet open, thankfully). Damn. Things are on fire too much lately.

I should look at the sit down places at lunch and take note
Oh yeah - I meant sit-down places. The cheap take-out places I usually go seem about the same. But we've had a few birthdays lately and places that used to be crowded have been able to seat us (parties of 6ish) right away.

bt, stay safe! I've got a friend living in Melbourne right now, I just hope she's staying safe, too.
I can't say as I've noticed more store closures than normal. The local malls seem to have the average number of empty storefronts at any time, one closes, another opens. I haven't been up State Street lately, though; that's where all the indie boutique stores are and I think that would be a better indicator of the economy than the malls. My anecdata is clearly lacking.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Uh oh. Mine should be coming soon then. I think they are going to Vegas with us.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I had a salad for lunch!
I think I went off bread for Lent last year (and kind of mostly did it), and maybe I'll do it again this year. A salad for lunch is a good thing, anyway.
