When I eat a crappy meal, I feel like I got drove :( That said, you did get to spend some QT with Sophie and I think that was probably special for both of you. I suggest taking the initiative next year and nipping any foul restaurant ideas in the bud early :) Some folks have really wankered food ideas...Jen Yuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09376636620757817569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656348557370314559.post-8547822928789913182008-05-14T07:33:00.000-07:002008-05-14T07:33:00.000-07:00I like your idea for next year.
