Old standards

It was Robert's birthday, so of course we were at Alice's, and of course he had the lettuce wedgie with blue cheese and the coconut shrimp and bread pudding (with decoration), and of course I had duck shu mai and yellowtail, and of course we had Moscato after-dinners.

And of course we went to La Te Da -- where we of course expected to find Debra and Patrick, whom we'd seen a few days before at Harrell and Barry's party at the Martello, but Bobby Nesbitt, who of course was at the H&B party, too, was playing and of course we enjoyed it.
