Hot Cranky People

A couple of weeks ago Arlo and I drove down to Monterey with my parents. We had dinner at a restaurant with an amazing view of the water, right at sunset. Unfortunately, that’s where the amazing ended. The food was bad. I mean, really bad. But the best part of all was when Mom and I went to the ladies’ room and found this startling kitten wallpaper, complete with border. Oh, there’s nothing like the playful antics of the kitten. Especially at an “upscale” seafood restaurant.

I’m only sad I couldn’t capture in the photo the scraggly ballpoint pen drawing of a word bubble coming from one of the kittens, saying “Meow”.

At the end of the evening (and several glasses of bad wine), Arlo went to the mens’ room. This is the announcement he made when he returned to the table:

“Ok. Four things.
One: There is no festive cat wallpaper in the men’s room.
Two: It’s as cold as a meat locker in there.
Three: I probably shouldn’t be the one to drive to the hotel.
And Four: …I forgot the fourth thing.”

In other news, we spent part of the next day trapped in a giant clam.
