And still they're trying, last minute bookings thinking they can call on a Friday for Saturday or Valentines Day. And sad to tell them that we're fully booked, and cut short their special last-minute requests for specific tables and restricted diets. They sound surprised - why would we be busy? And we wonder where they've been eating the past year - McDonald's? Wendy's? For the very, very regulars we make room, keep a few tables in reserve for those who will expect we have thought ahead for them, we're good that way, but for the general public we've been closed a week.
a miscellany of completely unrelated thoughts...
