We celebrated Mom's birthday (yesterday) by taking her out for Thai food. There's only one Thai place in town, and only S3 and N2 had ever eaten there. Not sure what I thought. Everyone raves about this place, as it's very homey and small. But is it all that good? I don't know--I've got no reference points. We went for the big family style serving, so there was lots of everything. Did I try everything? Yes. Did I like it all? Yes, actually. Was it spectacular? I don't think so, really. Anyway, I'm glad I had the chance to try it!
A high school classmate of mine recently turned 55. He made a comment on FB that now he can start taking advantage of those senior discounts at Applebee's and Denny's. At the moment I read that, I have never felt so old. It passed quickly, but damn...
The tragedy that won't end... Finding out about Stealth's death this spring was a shock that still gets into my head from time to time. For some reason, I went to her FB site over the weekend, and to sort of see if anyone had posted anything new there. Her boyfriend/fiancé had posted a thank-you to all of us that were late in finding out. A couple of people did one of those stupid FB games that I don't think anyone actually plays (think spam). But there were two posts that seemed odd.
Short story--the boyfriend died on June 4th. You can do your own investigating if you'd like, but there's not much to find. No mention of the cause of death. A comment left in the online guestbook used the word "tragic", but nothing more. Sadly, and somewhat surprising--no mention of Stealth preceding him in death. Any way you look at it, it's all sad...
I always like it when a potential project looks like it's going to be a success. Can't tell you anything about it right now, but so far, all indications are remarkably positive! You're going to be impressed!

I shall wait to be impressed. :)
1. I know the best Thai place. And it's only a short 24-hour plane ride from your place.
2.Senior discounts at 55? Clearly, they're very generous in your neck of the woods since ours don't kick in until after 60. Besides, haven't you heard 50 is the new 40?!
3. This just breaks my heart. The only thing stopping my tears is the thought they might be together again.
4. You're such a tease. Like MR, I'm waiting...
Oh, Stealth. How unbelievably sad.
