  •  This evening Jessica treated Don and me to dinner at Chili's on University, to celebrate Mother's Day and his birthday.  Ah, the joys of being an MIT!  She can get meals comp'ed, paying only for tax, tip and liquor.     I threw caution to the winds and finally had, after eyeing them for years without ever indulging, the Monterey Jack fajitas, featuring chicken and mushrooms.  Yum! 

    When Don got home the electricity was out. AGAIN. This is beginning to get old, as it must be the fourth time this spring we've had an outage.  Fortunately it was only off a bit under an hour, coming back on in time for Dmitry to give Don his present:

    Would he like it?  Surely he would!  But still....

    Age of Empires III!  Just what he wanted.  Dmitry chose well.

    And from the restaurant, a photo of Jason and Brianna chowing down on fried mozzarella:

    It was a nice time, and it's delightful to see how excited Jessica is about her upcoming move to being a manager at the Chili's in Fossil Creek next month.  She'll be able to open the store, be the sole manager on duty, close it, etc., capable of running it all by herself if need be.  There are several new stores opening over the next year, so she's planning upon working very, very hard so as to snag a general manager position when the positions come available.  Bet she does it, too.  e-ghost

  • I'm torn over AOE III. Every member of this family (yes, I'm a fantasy-war game-playin' Mama, a rare breed, I know) over the age of 8 would absolutely LOVE to have it. Anna and I have drooled over the graphics represented on the box in the store.

    I also know that we DON'T need yet another spiffin' new computer game in the house.

    I think I'm going to have to settle for delayed gratification -- wait a long time to get it, and then finally succumb.
