Back to the old

Yes, we threw over the Chinese restaurant for a regular pizza night but today the girls have begged for Chinese food so off we go. I know Shirley and Reggie will be happy to see us again and their son Alston will probably pop down from their house (right behind the restaurant) to play with the girls. It actually is kind of nice to be the center of a small universe - everyone greets us when we walk in, we have our regular table, even now the servers know what we drink and what the girls want to eat, and the kids play everywhere once they've finished their dinner.

In truth, I'm kind of looking forward to it. And even though I love to cook, it will be nice to leave that to someone else to do and clean up after.
