Tonight’s meal was in celebration of my father’s birthday (which was August 14, but our schedules didn’t allow us to get together). We met at a Chinese restaurant (Johnny Chan II?) in Harper’s Point for a delicious meal — I had Garlic Shrimp on a bed of crispy noodles, Wendy had Shrimp with Cashews, my mother had Moo Goo Gai Pan, and my father had Chicken and String Beans.

After dinner, we walked around the plaza a while, then stopped at Coldstone for ice cream.

Happy Birthday, Dad!

We drove to Columbus, Ohio (about 2 hours) so that Wendy & the rest of the cast of ROCKY HORROR SHOW could showcase at the OCTA convention. After the show, a group of us (Sharon, Bob, Jay, David, Ted, Tracy, Wendy & Drew) ate at Cap City Diner. We enjoyed loads of food, drinks, and companionship. Their Cap City Chips are amazing — thick fresh-cut potato chips covered with Alfredo sauce, blue cheese, and green onions. The two orders we had disappeared very quickly, as did the fried Goat Cheese in sweet basil marinara appetizer.

I had a meatloaf sandwich, and Wendy very much enjoyed her Salmon BLT.
