Thankee, Mam! I'm now officially *in* my 60s and looking forward to
retiring in June.

Fran is a nice name! I wouldn't be upset.

Thanks! I went to a restaurant that's been open forever, but I'd
never been there before. We got a $50 gift certificate to it when our
car was serviced last time, so we used the gift certificate last
night. If we'd also brought our rebate check from Verizon, we would
have walked away w/o paying a dime out of pocket.

We ordered from their prefix menu. Both of us had a cocktail before
dinner and my meal was paired with various wines. Hubby ordered
asparagus soup and I ordered the baby vegetable salad. Both items got
high very marks from us. I had duck breast & confit, hubby had their
signature scallops dish (they had just run out of the snapper so
scallops were substituted). By the time we got to our desserts, we
were so full we couldn't finish them! Our waiter's name was David,
and he is someone I recommend asking for by name if anyone decides to
eat at One Market (San Francisco) in the near future.
