3 January 2011

Since diagnosis: 6 years, 7 months, 29 days
Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Lunch: at Olive Garden in Wichita,
  • salad with bread sticks
  • spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs
  • Diet Coke with no ice
We had a few problems, which we told the manager about:
  • the waiter brought Kathie's meal with the wrong type pasta
  • there was ice in my drink
  • I had to flag down the waiter to get a refill
I admit the waiter was busy and his area was divided into two by a wall. Still, it looked like he was giving those on the other side of the wall much more service. I didn't mention  this to the manager. A waiter should realize that folks our age (I'm 59) often either tip lightly or tip a lot and it depends on the service received; I don't go for the automatic, obligatory, given the "wait staff" the maximum politically correct tip. That takes really good service (or the waitress being a friend of my wife).

Dinner: We were on the way back from Wichita and stopped at a Taco Hell Bell. One counter fellow said they had what my wife wanted and the other said they were permanently out of this item. We almost left...

Instead, we stayed and I had:
  • 3 hard shelled deluxe tacos and
  • split a nachos with hamburger, beans and cheese
  • had a medium Diet Coke (or what it Diet Pepsi?)
It was eatable...

Snack: a gin-n-tonic after we got home and emptied the car of everything bought at Sam's and Borders, showered etc.
