I also discovered an ice cream place that's all too close to home. I had a scoop of pistachio and another of pine nut.

I already love pistachio, and I must find someplace that has pine nut because by all rights I should love that, too.

I had never had it until recently. It's apparently a feature at the Latin ice cream shops here.

I am immersed in the world of Paul Theroux's Burma Sahib. It's epic and yet it takes it's time. It's the first fiction of his I've read probably since Saint Jack.

“… as unwelcome and conspicuous as a turd in a punch bowl.”

A not-great turn of phrase in Burmas Sahib.

DR VIXMOM the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream indicates that you should leave a guilt IN THE PAST and realize that YOU are not responsible for anyone else's unhappiness.

Don't get lost in yesterday.

I thought  it was telling me to pay attention and stop being distracted

They have weeknight specials Monday through Thursday, so we both had that - Prime rib for eight bucks less than the usual price. We split a salad with thousand island, we each had a cup of soup, and he had creamed spinach as his side dish, and I had coleslaw, which wasn't up to snuff. Everything else was stellar including the garlic cheese bread - we each had three small pieces of that.

Vixmom, I was dreaming something, and I woke up and told my DH "That's a lotta hamsters."  I have no recollection of that dream.
