The other night before going skating in Ballston, the Dartmouth Gang of Three was supposed to show up at my office between 5:00 and 5:30 so we could walk down the street to the Persian restaurant, where they were celebrating the Persian New Year with a nice and inexpensive buffet. Would it surprise anyone to announce that they were late?
Finally, they showed up: after seven. We left to go to the Persian restaurant, but it was packed, there were no tables, and we knew we wouldn't be able to get in and out of there before 8:00. So, we walked down the block to the Silver Diner. Silver Diner is a local chain of '50s style diners with about twenty stores.
We ordered quickly. Ryan got the pancakes and eggs breakfast, I had the liver and onions, Brian had a chicken sandwich, and Riley had a beer and I forgot what for food. The waiter, of course, got the order wrong, but rather than correct it, we just dealt with things so we could get in and out as quickly as possible. We didn't get to the ice arena until just a touch after eight.
You know, last month when Ryan was here and we trying to go ice skating, we were half an hour late to that session because Ryan insisted (demanded!) on eating at IHOP before we went to skate.
