Hey Michael!

->  -> The standard saying is "cheap at twice the price," signifying

->  HN> I seem to remember it from either a three

-> 
-> Now that I think about it, it's rather Marxian, isn't it.
->

Certainly seems to be ringing that bell 
with me!

->  -> Trying to impress the same girl at the same time, I reckon.
->  -> Also I didn't genuflect properly to him.
->  HN> Ahh, two things I don't do....impress girls and genuflect (grin).
-> 
-> I don't do either well. The one thing that makes girls swoon is
-> my violin playing sometimes, but then when they meet me I kind

-> and condition. Genuflexion is extremely difficult for me.
-> 

I"m much more likely to make them
swoon in dismay as delight! (grin)

->  HN> Still he and I got along fairly well! Hmmm, you didn't argue
->  HN> with him about clam chowder did ya?
-> 
-> No, more about how he was expanding too fast and wasn't keeping
-> tabs on the quality of the food in some of his ventures, most

Ahhh, now we're at the heart of it! (grin)
I don't suppose most would take well to 
questioning of their business plan or the 
quality of their menus...unless it was 
pure praise...and I don't think you were
doing that. He's still very successful and 
doing well! (so is etta's by the way)

-> 
-> Great not being a professional anything!

Better than great! It's delightful! 

->  HN> Not sure, I didn't get the impression that it was your

->  
-> I think that a first or second trip to Rover's might be
-> plenty of fun, but as the menu changes glacially slowly,
-> it isn't quite the thrill for me that it once was.
-> 
Well, it's not the place you just "decide" to go on a 
friday night and see what's "new" (grin).
Still, it's a place we'll probably go someday
if for no other reason than we haven't been 
there yet!
chat with you soon
