A.'s 34th birthday today. We went out for dinner earlier to Vinnie's, a new resto in the South End, as I'd heard good things about the food. And the food was indeed very good, but the service was so bad, it was actually comical. I'm not sure our waitress had ever waited tables before. She hadn't a clue what was on the menu, forgot to bring food for some people at the table, forgot cutlery...and was apologetic about her ineptitude to the point of being annoying. Oh well. At least it ended up costing us not much money - amongst the things she forgot to do this evening was include the wine on the bill. Needless to say, I also forgot to leave her a tip.
Sleepy now...but am bidding on A.'s birthday present on eBay at the moment. All the family are pitching in to get him a big fancy computerised nerd-boy telescope. Less than thirty minutes to go in the auction...we'll see how I do.
