Bill has been financing dinner out once a week for Lil Zen to take me to a nice place to eat. It has been some new places and some of the old faves, and tonight it was King’s Fish House in Long Beach. Yummy! We took my man Cliff with us as always and really had a nice dinner although the Hostess was rude, cold, and we had to ask her twice to seat us in a more appropriate spot as she first took us to the noisy bar while the dining room was mostly open. Lil Zen stopped her and asked if we could please be seated in the main dining room and she took us to a table in the middle of the aisle, next to 2 couples who had been drinking and had loaded the table she was trying to seat us at with their coats and left overs. Lil Zen just flat out told her we wanted a booth, of which there were more that a few and asked her why she was seating us this way. There was some muttering about rotation but we got the booth and were treated very well from then on. The service was prompt, the food was delish, and we enjoyed it a lot. It was a pricier restaurant than we usually go to but we had the money and the time and I love the place. We used to go more often when Lil Zen wasn’t a beloved but tragically underpaid teaching assistant. But… -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care! IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
