Sunday night Carrie and I had dinner at the Olive Garden.  It's hard to know exactly why, as the experience was every bit as mediocre - ok, vaguely distasteful - as we'd expected.  Everyone there was very nice, but the food has no character whatever.  And the room feels like a tarted up Denny's.  Though, actually, I like Denny's ok.  I guess it's the tarting up part I don't care for.  Anyway, we took it all for a learning lesson.  Should've gone with Ben Moore's.

Next day, it was Ralph's instead, and cooking at home.   Carrie eyed the beeswax cosmetics, which she's quite fond of.  But they seem to price the stuff in troy oz.  A little rich for either of us.

I thought the specs in the rack might make for some interesting visual effects.  They seem to just get in the way.  I guess x1.5 ain't all that strong.
