Life Isn't Fair



No, it isn't. And there are many, many pieces of evidence to support this fact, most of them gut-wrenchingly sad. Last night, though, a funny and light example occurred to me. Let me share it here.

I met my Dad at gate D13 (should there be a gate 13 in an airport?) as he got off the plane from DC. Marti picked us up out front, and we traveled to Cucina Toscana, a marvelous Italian restaurant in Salt Lake. Dad & Marti met their friends Mike & Nann there, and they are just the sweetest people. The 4 of them were kind enough to include me in their dinner.

So, unfairness? Well, as Kathy noted two nights earlier, she is the "foodie" in our house, and this meal and restaurant would have blown her away. From the gnocci and ravioli appetizer, the Babaresco wine, the Pelligrino, the wonderful duck, the lemon gelatto with Lemengello and chocolate tiramisu with ghiradelli chocolate and reduction of fresh peaches. She should have had this meal.

Okay, so maybe that's not unfair.
