lagilmanYesterday's plans to go to the zoo were put on hold, since various news outlets wanted to lay hands on G. Several phone calls and recalls and a lot of waiting later (during which he graded papers and I wrote a chapter), ABC sent a car to take him down to tape a segment for both Good Morning America and World News Tonight. Once released, we headed downtown to check out Agave, a Mexican restaurant with, well, an impressive tequila list.
As I don't drink tequila, I can't say [G seemed to enjoy the ones that he tried], but the blue crab quesadilla (I'd call it a sincronizada) was extremely yum (as were their blue corn chips, although the guac wasn't spicy enough). They are also set up to handle large groups, and the staff there didn't seem to blink an eye at a table of 18. The noise level was high but even next to that group we were still able to hear each other. Def. checking it out again some time NOT a Saturday night.
Afterward, walked around the Village for a bit, enjoying the near-spring air and just being around people.
Today, it's back to work, as my beta reader agreed with me that the chapter might work better 3rd person than 1st. Already I can feel the "rightness" in the flow. Will save the joint 1st person unreliable narrative approach for another project.
Have already had a pot of coffee and two bagels. Switching to iced tea now, which proves it really IS warmer weather.

The World News segment ended up being cut to give more time to the expanding coverage of the nuclear plant troubles. The GMA bit is now online, if you're interested.... http://news.yahoo.com/video/us-15749625/24508919
