======================
Hey there Michael!

-> 
->  HN> Oh we'll not try to put any extra on you...Anne will be in school
->  HN> every day so  we'll be on our own till eventide! I have a few ideas!
-> 
-> Yeah, but tasting, not quaffing I presume?

**Looking mysteriously about** There may be a quaff or two in the offing!
BTW Anne got the 13th off so she will accompany us to the game (which I 
will be working) and I'm hoping to be working one of the sections closer to 
home plate so you may get a better view than you expect. Do binoculars 
help?
-> 
->  -> Chinese people, probably, especially carrying Russian booze.
->  HN> Good thing you weren't in a tux...they may have never seen one of
->  HN> those  either! Got overalls?(G)
-> 
-> Nope, it was coming back from Pat Stockett's house, not a
-> concert - didn't do concerts in the South back then. May not
-> do so much either now, as they cut the pay scale back.
-> 
How can that be? The president (King shrub the embellisher) says the 
economy is booming!! Wages should be going up!!

-> I may actually have been wearing jeans.

What a posh!
-> 
->  HN> When I worked at a Restaurant/bar in Waikiki, we could order 
anything
->  HN> on the  menu for ourselves except the surf&turf, which was lobster 
and
->  HN> steak. I  usually had steak and spaghetti, or teriaki steak (best I
->  HN> EVER had).
-> 
-> That's in laid back Hawaii. I've had two regular restaurant
-> jobs, both being the house musician. At the one place, it was
-> a brunch buffet, and after the customers left, the help and
-> the musicians got to chow down - there was always a big tray of
-> creamed finnan haddie with lots of onions, and I always made
-> myself nearly sick on them. Also the normal brunch food, but
-> I essentially didn't notice. That was the Commonwealth Brewery,
-> and we also had unlimited beers afterward. The other place was
-> called Michael's House, and we were allowed the run of the
-> menu when the place closed down, except for steak, shrimp, and
-> lobster. When the manager wasn't around (his name wasn't
-> Michael - it was John or something) the help, who liked us and
-> hated him, encouraged us to eat of the forbidden foods. I
-> usually didn't take them us on the offer except once had a
-> steak just to try it out - it was okay. Some of the other
-> dishes were quite good when the chef named Stick was on duty.
-> I think he may have gone on to bigger and better things. I know
-> that the bartender was going to law school, and most of the
-> waitrons were students - all except Amy, who had perhaps the
-> most flawless oval face and dewy complexion I ever saw: she
-> went on to model for, I believe, a cosmetic company.
-> 
-> P.S. Why shrimp, I wonder? It was on the lower end of the
-> price schedule on the menu.
-> 
Don't know that I've ever had finnian haddie...sounds good though! As to why 
shrimp was not allowed....I'm surprised that it's at the lower end of the 
menu...maybe it's a "loss leader" to get customers in and then they also eat 
more higher priced meals as well? 
Look for an email from me!
chat with you soon
