After attending a moving Good Friday service at noon today, two friends invited me to go to lunch with them. Since my choices were go to lunch or go home and get started on some serious apartment cleaning before my family comes on Sunday, I chose lunch. Since the church I attend (First Pres, in case you're interested) is downtown, it's within easy walking distance of several good restaurants, and today was a great day for a walk. One of my friends suggested J.K. O'Donnell's and we went there. It wasn't too busy or too noisy so we had a chance for a good conversation with our lunch. I ordered one of my favorite JK dishes, fish and chips. The fish was delicious, lightly breaded, very flaky; the coleslaw was good and so were the 'chips' (aka French fries). Only one tiny problem. I had made a commitment for a phone meeting at about 2:00pm. After our food came, I glanced at a clock strategically placed on the wall behind our booth where I had an excellent view of it and it said 1:20. So I figured I had time to eat. Unfortunately, it took me three more looks at that clock to realize that it wasn't moving. By that time, it was well past 2:00. Lucky for me, my much delayed phone talk was with a very understanding friend so all was well there. So now you're probably thinking that after lunch and that phone conversation, I dug right in and got some cleaning done. And I would have. But before I got started on that, I took time to read my west coast brother's daily text in which he informed me that today is "National No Housework Day." Well, who can ignore a special day like that? Ah well, tomorrow is another day.
