It's not like I ever get to eat at the original location on Third Street anyway, though a block away from work but too expensive and family-style for my normal personal budget. But I wanted some nice Italian wine and snacks, and since somebody else was buying, the deal was sealed.It sure was satisfying too, trying every color of wine (Pinot Grigio, Montepulciano and a sparkling rose) and a variety of vegetables including Caesar salad, peas with pancetta, and broccoli rabe with sausage and cherry peppers. And rice balls. It was a beautiful thing.
What was even better was being taken out. I could get used to this pampering: the bellmen who scramble to help passersby, the Dutchman at check-in who declared us friends when he found out I was from Bavaria, the lifeguards watching my every move in the wave pool...
I guess going to the kids' conference turned out to be not so bad. Especially since I won an award today.
