Date Night

Someone gave me a gift certificate today for Mia Madonna, a semi-snazzy restaurant in Athens that I have never been to. Our profs go there a lot, which usually means it's a bit too pricey for me. :-0

Since it was V-Day, Xon and I decided to call to see if they had any room left for dinner. They were all booked, but we knew the hostess on duty from Redeemer Pres. She said she would call us if there were any openings. She called back about 30 seconds later and said if we could be done by 8:00, we could go right then. So we hopped on over and had a lovely meal. I had eggplant parmesan, which I've never had before, and an arugula salad with hazelnuts and a hazelnut dressing. Xon had the steak frites.

And the whole time I thought about how the profs were in a faculty meeting right then fighting over the faculty searches. :-)
