Completely unnecessary. But, I was noblisse oblige. At least I didn’t have to wear a funny hat. And got two useful presents. (This year everyone out did themselves with “good” stuff. High on the nerd o meter)
They also made good on a prize we won when last we were out with them. A painting of the shore house. While not as good as painting the shore house, it was neat. Frau was tickled with it. That’s always great fmpov.
It’s always nice to see the talented people do something they are good at. I think that there are only a few times in our lives when we get to perform at that level. Sadly, some people like me have no talent. Ask me to draw the same thing and you’ll get a stick drawing that has little resemblance to anything. Most first graders could do better. So it was a gem and most impressive.
I am always concerned when Frau pushes with the upcoming medical mystery theater redeux. But she slept in the car, so she seemed in fine form. Getting out is good for her. She laughed a lot and I think that’s the best medicine. The test and latest “fix” will come soon enough.
We went to the Prepster64 restaurant Marios on Arthur Avenue and it was good. I hate picking restaurants when others are involved. My favorites are never their favorites. Regardless of who the “they” are. And, there’s a chance that they will be disappointed in some way. I then feel that’s my fault because I chose it. But last night worked well.
The restaurant served a carrot dish with the bread that was great. Like a slightly blanched carrots with garlic and stuff with an italian dressing. I ate lot of that. Have to find a recipe for Frau.
Got home quickly without trouble. All in all a fun night.
