History

On the way home from picking David up from school, we noticed a line out front of a CVS. We commented that it was weird, but didn't think that much about it.

When we got home we decided to treat ourselves to a little celebratory dinner in Obama's honor. So we went to this Belgian place in our neighborhood that we've been talking about going to since we moved here, but since it is a little more expensive (and we can't read most of the menu) we've just never gotten around to it. So tonight, we did. I had a delicious sea bass on a bed of spinach and mushrooms, and David had one of the most tender steaks I've ever tasted. Plus as a side we got mac and cheese made with truffles - to die for.

On the way home we decided we needed something sweet to munch on, cause we were planning on watching a Netflix. So we stopped by a different CVS, and there was an even longer line outside. We walked in, and when we got up to the register we asked the cashier what the line was for.

"They're waiting to get the newspaper." She said. "They've been here four hours now, and we're not sure when the paper is arriving."

People are celebrating. I love that.

  1. you finally went to that Belgian place. It looks like we have to try it next time we visit. That is if you are still in DC. When the California Supreme Court overturns this Prop 8 nonsense you may come here and get married. How about a double wedding? No more who's been together longer (although we win anyway... 16 years in one week)
