Tricia and I were out to dinner recently. At the end of the night, after Tricia had paid the tab, the server (I’ll call her Maggie) was especially attentive. I’m sure you know, that’s not always the case. They have other tables, and those drink refills might be slow in coming. Especially after the bill is closed out.

Let me start by saying, at the beginning of the night we’d sat down and asked her to get us something which was no longer on the menu. It’d been a favorite appetizer we enjoyed at that restaurant in the past, but it’s been off the menu for a few years. Maggie went to the kitchen, and made it happen. You have to love when that happens.

Also during dinner, Tricia tried an Old Fashioned. She’d wanted to try one for a while, but ultimately didn’t like it. Noth
