Stay tuned for more stunning revelations, e.g. "The Sun Is HOT!"

( Climate change hurts Africa most: scientists. And! Dogs have four legs!! )

Sorry, folks, I was kidding about the four-legged dogs part. Scientist have yet to determine that conclusively. They've said they'll get to that as soon as they get real proof that cigarettes cause cancer.

Yummy

Back from The Green Table. Picture a restaurant where you stand in line, pick up a plastic tray, get yourself stuff from the (cafeteria-decor) buffet, get it weighed, pay for it, take your tray to cafeteria-like tables (plastic & metal, rickety legs), eat, go back for seconds and stand in line again, then, when you're ready to leave, you bus your own table - including scraping the leftovers into the garbage.

And you pay through the nose for this. Well, not precisely through the nose, but dinner for four (more like three, when you count Daniel's appetite) runs to around $80.

And it's always busy. Couples go there on dates. Well-dressed people drive a ways to get dinner there before taking in a show downtown. Students, and families with young children, and elderly people, all stand in line and eat and bus their tables. Because The Green Door is all-vegetarian, mostly organic, often vegan or gluten-free or sugar-free, and always has a list of ingredients on their food. And it's absolutely delicious. From the veggie lasagne to the seaweed salad to the spanakopita to the sugar- and gluten-free apple pie and the pumpkin seed cookies, it's amazing. Justin nearly had an aneurysm from the sheer joy of it tonight.

So Chris is done one of his last case rounds evar, which is a good thing. And we all survived another week of homeschooling, which is still going so well I'm getting a little nervous. Daniel has completed almost all of his weekly goals on time or ahead of time. He's very cheerful and eager to work, and thrilled to not be going to school. We're mostly doing seatwork in the mornings and going out in the afternoons, after Justin's home. I'm even surviving Fridays with Anne's kids at my place; they have their work, we have ours, and we're getting used to getting it all done reasonably quickly and efficiently so that the kids can go off and play. It's a lot of fun so far.

I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.
