Another Monday, another night at Bernard's. Aside from the cost, I am finding the whole experiencing quite enriching. Ruby is learning better how to act at a restaurant. This means she has learned to put the napkin on her lap, and only occasionally makes bubbles come out of her ginger ale. She can stay seated for the whole meal and generally eats well. She said to me 'there aren't many kids here." I think that observation made her notice that this isn't your draw-on-the-table kind of restaurant. Also, she likes broccoli in a white sauce.

Year 3, Day 42: So Disappointed

Well, for the second time in my life I failed to win elected office. Oddly enough, it was the same office in two different towns—Town Meeting. This was enough ordinarily to drive me to the chocolate chips, but I held off, coasting off the glow of my previously displayed strength. Though I had 30 pistachios today, we also went for a brisk walk TO Russo's, which is the new thing for Domania walking gang. It was the full complement today of employees as we took advantage of the last nice day of the week—tomorrow it is supposed to snow with up to an inch on the ground hanging around till Friday.
