Met Mary Ellen for the champagne brunch at the Byberry Inn on Long Beach Island yesterday. Very enjoyable, although considering the price--50 bucks for two, plus tip--the food wasn't great and the champagne was mediocre. However, it's a lovely old inn and we had great fun as we talked and talked. It was very crowded when we walked in--after all, it was Valentine's Day--and although we had reservations, we still had to wait to be seated. We talked and talked, of course, and mixed the mediocre champagne with o.j. for mimosas, managing to swallow three glasses each. We discovered more and more about ourselves, our lives, and our varying philosophies, finally realizing it was after 2:00 and we were the only ones there, so finally left.
After, I stopped at B.J.'s, which is on the way home, to pick up cottage cheese and popcorn. Took that home, then completed a veggie run to Santori's, then stopped at the cemetery. It occurred to me that it's about twenty miles to the former and another five to the latter, so roughly fifty for the round trip. I might travel it several times a week, so I do put quite a bit of mileage on the car. Uh...where was I going with this?
Nowhere, I guess.
