First we noticed it was another National Tourist Day. Folks arrived for lunch from Connecticut, Ohio, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, and North Carolina. How do I know? Their license plates and our conversations.
Next, there were many diners with at least 20 questions regarding the menu items and the limited selection for the kiddies.
After that there were the big parties of families with 2 to 4 kids in tow. Most were well behaved (another sign of the full moon?) and a few even courteous.
Then Happy Hour was more "Happy" than usual. Mostly newcomers who've never been to the restaurant.
All in all a fun and interesting day for all of us. I love my job.
Oh, and BTW, we're bracing for a snow event overnight and hanging around tomorrow so, bad drivers will likely be in greater numbers this weekend. Gee, can't wait.
Whether (weather?) we're busy at the restaurant tomorrow, or not, is anyone's guess. On Monday, a heavy thunderstorm with high winds and heavy rain didn't keep folks away. They sat in their cars waiting for us to open. It's a strange business that always offers surprises.
Turkey breast with asparagus and salad are up for supper as I enjoy a festive cocktail. Cheers!
And so it goes.

The full moon long ago made me a believer.

One good thing about working at a hotel. When a major storm hits, we always have a place to stay. No change of underwear of course, but always a place to stay. That said, I'm not working so home is even better. I enjoyed a delightful French farce DVD last night. Sometimes it's good to see something other than the standard American made schlock movies with their predictability.
