Dined out

I had a lovely Boston lettuce salad and a nice piece of fish, followed by chocolate-date bread pudding. Mmmm, salad.

The bartender and I got to talking - he asked what I was reading (Pratchett), I asked what he was reading (A Thousand Splendid Suns) and what it's about (an Afghani girl sold into marriage at 14). We agreed we'd both drawn pretty good tickets in the Privilege Lottery. Life is not exactly a glorious cycle of song, but still. It's good to stop periodically and notice our blessings, and if at all possible, rejoice in them.

Mmmm, salad.
