Mood:
don't askYesterday Ellen, Eileen and I went out to dinner at an Italian restaurant in Central Islip. It is called Carrabba’s and it part of a chain that was founded in Houston TX in 1986 (Italian Texans). The ancestors of the founders moved to Texas in the early 20th century from Italy. To commemorate the Texas connection, one of their chicken dishes is called Chicken Bryan (named after the city near College Station). I did not have that, but did have a pasta and shellfish dish which was quite good, and washed it down with some Italian beer from the tap. To find out if there is a Carrabba’s near you, please check out the company’s website: http://www.carrabbas.com/. We enjoyed our meals and recommend the restaurant to all. Today is New Year’s Eve and while I had to go in to work, the trains were empty and so was the office. We got out a 3 PM. I have no intention of being anywhere near Manhattan, since with over 1,000,000 people it’s going to be a madhouse. We will watch any festivities on TV. Besides, the fire department might get busy with motor vehicle accidents or other alcohol related incidents. We finally finished the roll of film that we took to South Bend earlier in the month, and I was able to complete my web-page about the trip. The URL is http://www.southbend2007.homestead.com Please check it out and please sign the guest book. Best wishes to all for a happy and prosperous 2008.

It’s hard to believe that 2007 is almost over.
