tease!



I'm still not sure how I'm supposed to feel about the early spring preview we get every year around the second week of February. Part of me is grateful that it's not raining or freezing and that I can wear short sleeved shirts outside. Then there's this other part of me that is already jaded and bitter because I know it's probably going to start snowing somewhere in Tahoe next week.

I'm not going to lie: I've actually been looking forward to the freakish weather phenomenon probably caused by global warming, since late December. not just because i'm sick and tired of 42-degree mornings, but mostly because now instead of waiting thirty minutes for a table at Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe (in E'ville) during lunch, I also have the option to sit outside on their patio. And seeing how I go there at least once (if not twice) a week, that's a good thing. Plus, the warm weather makes me a little more ambitious with my orders. no more boring (yet, delicious) bacon cheese burgers for a while. Instead . . . a different offering.

Buffalo chicken salad with blue cheese dressing and an Arnold Palmer: good. listening to a group of pixar geeks at the next table telling someone not to wear green while they're in front of the CGI screen: annoying.

Oh, well . . . always need to have the good with the bad. Otherwise it's not fair to the balance of the universe, or something. Warm weather: good. Early spring allergies: baaaaad.

* And yes . . . those are indeed the dudes from Green Day. One of them is a partner in the business.
