Mas Yumminess

The wife and I splurged last night. We went to Masa's last night for our delayed anniversary dinner.

There was a bit of fu at first -- the reliable taxi company we like to use no longer takes advance cab reservations on Friday and Saturday nights. Hrmph. That meant that I had to call back, earlier than I wanted, assuming that the cab wouldn't show for another 15-20 minutes. Nope, it showed up 5 minutes after I hung up. Which meant that we got to the restaurant half an hour early.

The food and atmosphere? One of the most enjoyable 3 1/2 hours I've ever spent in a restaurant. 'Course, we won't be going out much any time again soon - we've pretty much blown our rich food and going-out budget for the next six months...

Ah well. That's why we work, right? Speaking of which, I need to go to the airport in about 15 minutes so I can catch a flight to the mothership in Kansas City. It looks like they're going to have better weather than we will. Which is really to be expected right now.

Blah.

Kansas City, Here I Come Am. It's nice weather; I shouldn't need the jacket I brought.

I forgot my swimsuit (I'm not needed at the office until the afternoon, so I might as well work off some of last night's calories) but I'm sure there's a sporting goods store within walking distance.

New work laptop, old mouse doesn't fit. I dislike using the eraser thingy to maneuver.
Also, it took forever to figure out how to turn off the Numlock, so that I could type letters like "u" and "o". Sigh. Oh the turgid drama that is my business trip.
