Votes are now coming in in favor of the darker color. Thanks for all the comments. I'll let you guys know what it's gonna be.
I had lunch with JDR today-- good ol' Silk Road, home of Spicy Pigeon (er... Chicken). He's pretty psyched about his upcoming nuptials (July 4) and all that's involved. I asked him how he felt about taking the plunge again, and he said it was just like playing a country music record backwards-- you get your truck back, your wife back, your job back... only it's better this time, 'cause you get a different truck, a different wife....
And Happy Passover to those of you who celebrate it. Maybe I'll whip up some of those potato pancakes like I did for the kids' Christmas/Chanukah dinner. My place will smell like onions for a week again. But hey-- I gotta break the new stove in.
More later.
