Jeri, can no longer sit by the window as the glare is painful for Tom, but we sat one row in across the aisle and the view was still lovely.

Tom had native shrimp and I started with a small lobster stew (Newick's lobster stew is as good as Tom's -- that's high praise -- and full of lobster meat) because it's my birthday. Couldn't decide between fried squid and native shrimp, so got a combo plate and had both. And a baked potato because, quite honestly, their french fries are terminally mediocre.

Washed it down (took plenty home) with Guinness because stout is the most complementary drink for seafood that we've discovered.

Bill, didn't even look for the jar of cherries. We were both still stuffed from lunch that we didn't even sample the tiramisu cake. Tonight, perhaps...

I celebrate on high for at least a month, then kick it down a notch. So nobody is EVER late!

Thanks again for all the good wishes!
