So, there's this new Cuban resturant in town and we wanted to try it out, so I suggested going today, since we got our tax money (hurrah), and I called to make a reservation. Turns out, if I want to eat at a reasonable hour there tonight, I would have to go back in time a week and make the reservation then.
It totally made me think of the bit in LA Story where Steve Martin tries to get a reservation at "L'idiot's" and Patrick Stewart says to him in a voice of high dudgeon, "You think with a portfolio like this you can have the duck?" and then the chef says, "He can have the chicken" and eventually he gets a reservation for three months from then, or something. Great scene, brilliant movie.
Anywhoodles, Collingswood is chock full of good resturants, but many of them are way swanky, and not appropriate for children, so our choice for alternative dining was somewhat limited, so we're going to Nunzio's, which is Zagat rated, and I've been wanting to see the inside because the decor is beautiful, and they have openings and they let children in. Italian isn't my favorite food (another drawback to Collingswood dining, as the majority of resturants are Italian) but it should be good.
In other news, I realised recently someone had 'unfriended' me, but I don't know why. I try not to take it personally, but it is funny how it kind of gets to you, isn't it? Can't help but wonder what I said or did to have her delete me without a courtesy note telling me she was going to do so. I've been unfriended before, but the person usually says why, at least. Sad.
Oh, and if anyone cares, Charlie took a photo of the moon last night, as it was full. I've also trained him up to say "Lord how bright and goodly shines the moon" when he is looking at it, and now he totally does it on his own.

That's a lovely photo. Swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon...(I hope I got that right)
