Knowing is half the battle

Staying away from shopping areas during the christmas rush is the other half.

Man, just going to see a movie, and having to drive even a little bit on the craziness that is Route 2 (in Warwick), gah! Idiots out in force today. And lots of them.

The movie, Blade III, was okay. Lots of pretty fight scenes and good one liners, but not much else. The dinner was sushi, which was yummy. At the new place, Seven Sons, on Route 1. The place looked packed from the outside, all the parking was taken (almost), and a bus was parked out front also. Walked in to a crowd waiting for tables. I asked how long of a wait, and the hostess asked how many? I said two and we were immediately whisked away to the back with all the two-fer tables. Service was a bit slow - in fact, the head waiter guy walked by to see how everyone was doing and realized that we hadn't even got any water, much less seen a waiter - so he quickly got us some ice water and asked us what we wanted to drink and any appetizers. The meal was great, the sushi melted in my mouth, as did the ginger ice cream afterwards.

Tomorrow is the Pats vs the Bungles (lets hope!) and the Sunday morning routine.
